description: 'EDAM is an ontology of general bioinformatics concepts, including topics,
  data types, formats, identifiers and operations. EDAM provides a controlled vocabulary
  for the description, in semantic terms, of things such as: web services (e.g. WSDL
  files), applications, tool collections and packages, work-benches and workflow software,
  databases and ontologies, XSD data schema and data objects, data syntax and file
  formats, web portals and pages, resource catalogues and documents (such as scientific
  publications).'
