Event ontology: a pathway-centric ontology for biological processes.
Event ontology is a new biomedical ontology developed to annotate pathway components in a pathway database. It organizes the concepts and terms of sub-pathways, pathways, biological phenomena, experimental conditions, medications, and external stimuli appearing in biological pathways (e.g. signal transduction, disease-, metabolic-, molecular interaction-, genetic interaction pathways, etc.). Concepts in the Event ontology are extracted manually from scientific literature. Each term has links to external databases such as Gene Ontology, Reactome, KEGG, BioCyc, and PubMed.
