Using Ontologies in Practice: LinkML can help!

Most researchers have heard of ontologies, but that may be where their familiarity ends. What exactly are ontologies, and how are they used in practice? What do you gain by using ontologies? What tools and frameworks can help you leverage ontologies for better data modeling? (SPOILER: LinkML!)

If you’re curious about how LinkML can help you create better, FAIRer, more reusable data models using ontologies, please check out our new article in the OBOOK:

The OBOOK (Open Biological and Biomedical Ontologies Organized Knowledge) is a growing collection of documentation, tutorials, and how-to guides for those who are interested in semantic engineering, particularly in biological or biomedical domains. Produced by the OBO Academy, the OBOOK is a free, open, community-focused resource intended to provide ongoing training on best practices in ontology development and use for curators, software developers, and more.
