description: The Ontology for Biomedical Investigations (OBI) project is developing
  an integrated ontology for the description of biological and clinical investigations.
  The ontology will represent the design of an investigation, the protocols and instrumentation
  used, the material used, the data generated and the type analysis performed on it.
  Currently OBI is being built under the Basic Formal Ontology (BFO).

  description: Bio2RDF is an open-source project that uses Semantic Web technologies
    to build and provide the largest network of Linked Data for the Life Sciences.
    Bio2RDF defines a set of simple conventions to create RDF(S) compatible Linked
    Data from a diverse set of heterogeneously formatted sources obtained from multiple
    data providers.
