description: Ontologies provide a common platform of controlled vocabulary for researchers
  who need to share information across a particular domain, inclusive of machine-interpretable
  definitions of basic concepts in the domain and relations among them. The need for
  ontologies that provide a systematic arrangement of available data and allow cross
  talk across various related domains is gaining momentum. In this backdrop, we have
  developed a comprehensive ontology on primary and established cell lines-both normal
  and pathologic. It covers around 400 cell lines. This ontology has been built to
  include the major domains in the field of biology like anatomy, bio-molecules, chemicals
  and drugs, pathological conditions and genetic variations around the cell lines.
  An extensive network of relations has been built across these concepts to enable
  different combinations of queries. The ontology covers all cell lines from major
  sources like ATCC, DSMZ, ECACC, ICLC etc. and is built in OWL format.
