The OntoPortal technology is co-developed by the OntoPortal Alliance, a consortium of researchers dedicated to promoting semantic services in scientific research based on shared domain-specific ontologies managed with the collaboratively developed OntoPortal software. The technology, originally based on the NCBO BioPortal, allows anyone to set up a semantic artefact catalogue for a domain/project of interest. For instance: AgroPortal, EcoPortal, BioPortal, MatPortal are instances of the OntoPortal technology respectively for agri-food, ecology/biodiversity, biomedicine, and material disciplines.
Who is the service for
Level at which the tool/solution/approach is intended to be used
- Institutional (e.g., Research Performing Organisations, Universities)
- International (e.g., pan-European research infrastructures
- Data service provider (e.g., repositories, registry services)
- National Repository or Service Manager
Main users: Repository or Service Manager
Expertise needed: To deploy an OntoPortal installation some technical expertise (devops) is required. The maintenance and administration of semantic artefacts with an OntoPortal installation is mostly easy/accessible and fairly documented.
