What are subsets?
ENVO is quite a large ontology, and many users don't want or need to work with the whole thing. We thus create 'subsets' or extracts of the ontology which contain only those terms that a user group asks for. We can export these subsets in OWL, but exporting in other formats (e.g. CSV, OBO, GraphML) is possible on request.
You can find our current, released subsets here
Can I request a subset for my project?
Yes! We'd be happy to engineer an export for your purposes. Please create an issue on our tracker (you'll need a GitHub account) and we'll prepare the file for you. You can also tweet your request to us @envoTweets or e-mail our publicly archived mailing list.
Which subsets exist?
You can see the current subsets here The primary ones are described below.
| Subset | Description |
|---|---|
| EnvO-Lite-GSC.owl | An export used by the Genomics Standards Consortium to tag 'omic data into broad categories. |
| EnvO-Lite-GSC.obo | Just like EnvO-Lite-GSC.owl, but in the simpler, OBO format |
| environmental_hazards.owl | An export used by the Sustainable Development Goals Interface Ontology and related projects to handle classes which correspond to natural disasters like earthquakes, flooding, etc. |
| wwfBiome.owl | A subset to address #196 |
| nlcd2011.owl | A subset to address #458 |
| envoPolar.owl | A subset for polar projects such as the FRAM programme |
| envoEmpo.owl | A subset to accommodate categories found to be informative in the Earth Microbiome Project |
| envoCesab.owl | An export tuned to the needs of CESAB's working groups. |
| envoOmics.owl | A successor to EnvO-Lite-GSC.owl tuned to the quickly developing needs of the 'omics community. |
Which subsets are in the pipeline?
| Subset label | Description |
