The Ontology Lookup Service (OLS; http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ols) has been providing several means to query, browse and navigate biomedical ontologies and controlled vocabularies since it first went into production 4 years ago, and usage statistics indicate that it has become a heavily accessed service with millions of hits monthly. The volume of data available for querying has increased 7-fold since its inception. OLS functionality has been integrated into several high-usage databases and data entry tools. Improvements in the data model and loaders, as well as interface enhancements have made the OLS easier to use and capture more annotations from the source data. In addition, newly released software packages now provide easy means to fully integrate OLS functionality in external applications.
本体查询服务(OLS;http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ols)自 4 年前投入生产以来,一直提供多种查询、浏览和导航生物医学本体和受控词汇表的方法,使用情况统计数据表明,它已成为一个访问量很大的服务,每月有数百万次点击。自成立以来,可供查询的数据量增加了 7 倍。OLS 功能已集成到几个高使用率的数据库和数据输入工具中。数据模型和加载器的改进以及界面增强功能使 OLS 更易于使用,并从源数据中捕获更多注释。此外,新发布的软件包现在提供了在外部应用程序中完全集成 OLS 功能的简便方法。
