Insights, updates, and perspectives from the ZAPP team. We write about zebrafish research, data standards, ontologies, and the science behind building a community-driven phenotype atlas.
Contributing to Ontologies and Data Standards
Data standards and ontologies are not static—they grow alongside research through community feedback. Here is what to report, when, and how to keep these shared tools accurate.
Using Ontologies and Standards in Zebrafish Research
Zebrafish research generates large, complex datasets, yet much of it is hard to reuse or compare. The fix is consistent reporting with ontology terms and persistent IDs.
What is an Ontology and Why Should We Care?
If you have ever tried to compare results across zebrafish studies, you have likely encountered a frustrating issue. Ontologies are how we solve it.
