Ontologies in the VCI and GCI
Wherever possible the VCI and GCI ensures rigorous and standardized data capture of specific evidence types by the use of ontologies and controlled vocabularies (examples shown in table below).
Most ontologies can be searched using the EMBL-EBI Ontology Lookup Service. We provide detailed guidance on how to look up MONDO disease terms and HPO phenotypes.
