description: Crop-specific trait ontologies enhance the interoperability and effectiveness
  of data exchange between the data sources which adopt it, by providing standard
  concepts that are use to describe phenotypes stored in those sources. As one of
  them, the Cassava Ontology is actively used and shared in different databases such
  as the BMS (Breeding Management system) of the IBP or the CassavaBase. Cassava,
  a major staple crop, is the main source of calories for 500 million people across
  the globe. A perennial woody shrub native to Latin America, cassava is primarily
  grown as an annual crop in the humid tropics. A cash crop as well as a subsistence
  crop, cassava's large edible starchy roots are a source of low-cost carbohydrates
  for millions. Cassava end products range from fresh roots cooked, boiled, baked
  or fried at the household level, to highly processed starch as a food additive.
