Gene Ontology


Explanation:
Per Internet, hence low confidence

EBI's Gene Ontology pages

The Gene Ontology (GO) Consortium is an international collaboration among scientists at various biological databases, with an Editorial Office based at the EBI. A full introduction to the GO project, as well as links to search tools, data downloads, and contact information, can be found on the GO home page.
The objective of GO is to provide controlled vocabularies for the description of the molecular function, biological process and cellular component of gene products. These terms are to be used as attributes of gene products by collaborating databases, facilitating uniform queries across them. The controlled vocabularies of terms are structured to allow both attribution and querying to be at different levels of granularity.

The GO group at EBI coordinates changes to the biological content of the GO vocabularies, and is headed by Midori Harris.

disagree  Joseph Tein: Just passing through tonight, looking for "obiettivita". "General objectivity" is NOT a common expression used by doctors in English (for physical examination). Probably a typo for EO -- esame obiettivo -- which does translate as "physical examination".
