description: 'The Ontology for General Medical Science (OGMS) is an ontology of entities
  involved in a clinical encounter. OGMS includes very general terms that are used
  across medical disciplines, including: ''disease'', ''disorder'', ''disease course'',
  ''diagnosis'', ''patient'', and ''healthcare provider''. OGMS uses the Basic Formal
  Ontology (BFO) as an upper-level ontology. The scope of OGMS is restricted to humans,
  but many terms can be applied to a variety of organisms. OGMS provides a formal
  theory of disease that can be further elaborated by specific disease ontologies.
  This theory is implemented using OWL-DL and OBO Relation Ontology relations and
  is available in OWL and OBO formats.


  OGMS is based on the papers Toward an Ontological Treatment of Disease and Diagnosis
  and On Carcinomas and Other Pathological Entities. The ontology attempts to address
  some of the issues raised at the Workshop on Ontology of Diseases (Dallas, TX) and
  the Signs, Symptoms, and Findings Workshop(Milan, Italy). OGMS was formerly called
  the clinical phenotype ontology. Terms from OGMS hang from the Basic Formal Ontology.'
