ontologies: Third release of eNanoMapper ontology

Third release of eNanoMapper ontology Version 3 of the eNanoMapper Ontology (ENM) was released on the 1st of March 2016. ENM now covers 8407 classes, compared with 6690 classes in version 2. What's new in version 3 ● Based on input from various NSC projects, the ENM now includes classes relating to applications of nanomaterials, drawn from the Chemical Entities of Biological Interest Ontology (CHEBI). ● From the NanoParticle Ontology (NPO), several additional classes of nanoparticles have been added, such as metal nanoparticle and silica nanoparticle. ● Terms from the Statistics Ontology (STATO), the Gene Ontology (GO) and the National Cancer Institute Thesaurus (NCIT) have been included in the ENM for the first time, providing coverage for several statistical methods, additional assays and study characteristics, respectively. As a byproduct of the development of the eNanoMapper Ontology, interaction with upstream ontologies has led to the incorporation of several terms in other ontologies, notably the Bioassay Ontology (BAO) and the NPO. You can find our new ontology on BioPortal, Aber-OWL, and the OLS beta. Release version 4 For the next release, scheduled for September 2016, we plan to add terms related with modelling and human exposure to nanomaterials
