Useful ontologies for harmonizing cohort data

This video describes a community of practice for interoperable ontology building called the OBO Foundry, and highlights a number of well curated and maintained ontologies that are useful for annotating cohort data.

No prerequisite knowledge is required, but viewers may also find our previous videos useful. This video is part of the CINECA online training series, where you can learn about concepts and tools relevant to federated analysis of cohort data.
