The GFBio Terminology Service (TS) helps you connect through a single access point to various kinds of terminologies in the biological domain in a uniform and transparent manner. The TS provides services and tools to find, explore, share and reuse terminologies for semantic enhancement of research platforms.

<p>
The Terminology Service (TS) enables the vision of a semantically enriched data management and archiving solution by introducing a semantic-aware component to research infrastructures. It is our approach for integrating and harmonizing terminological resources to serve as a backbone for such infrastructures. The TS acts as a semantic platform for access, development and reasoning over internally and externally maintained terminological resources within the biological and environmental domain.
</p>
<p>
The TS and its public
<a href="/api/">
API
</a>
(Application Programming Interface) provide users with a machine-readable access to terms and their relations for a variety of biodiversity related data. We aim to lowering the barriers to use semantic technologies in research environments by developing robust and easy-to-use
<a href="/widgets/">
widgets
</a>
and services. Additionally, we support scientists to create, publish and curate their own terminologies.
</p>
<p>

<h5>

Our

consists of a RESTful webservice for accessing all available terminologies. It has been designed based on API usability principles. The service endpoints are grouped into four categories: search services, hierarchy-oriented services, information services and metadata services.

We offer a set of

The Terminology Service offers the possibility to retrieve and store parts or complete terminologies into your local information system. The advantage is that you can integrate the semantic information from the terminologies into your existing system (databases, indexes, etc.) directly. Locally hosted copies of terminologies can be extended locally or updated when new versions of the terminologies become available. We plan to provide an update service that informs Terminology Service users about terminology updates.

<p>
You can provide your own terminologies to the Terminology Service and directly benefit from the offered services and tools. Your terminology will be available via our API and will be connected to the widgets for search and visualization.
</p>
<div class="col s12 m6">
<h3 class="flow-text center-align">
Provide a file
<br>
to be stored locally
</h3>
<p>
You can provide your terminologies in a variety of formats ranging from a simple list of terms, a tabular form to Semantic Web (SW) compliant formats like RDF, OWL and ontologies like SKOS. We developed a tool for transforming a list of terms or documents in a tabular form into a SW-compliant format. The files will be checked for consistency and a set of metrics will be computed. Besides the terminology, you only need to provide some additional metadata information (e.g., description, contact information).

<p>
You can also register your service at the Terminology Service and we will create a corresponding adapter to our API. The TS API calls will be redirected to your service and the service output will be mapped to the Terminology Service. By connecting your service to the Terminology Service, you increase its visibility and usability. Existing or new applications can use your terminologies in combination with existing terminologies in the TS easily. Furthermore, you can employ all available services offered by the TS.
