NFDI4Biodiversity BiodivPortal

Groups and Categories

In BiodivPortal, ontologies are organized in groups and tagged with categories. Typically, groups associate ontologies from the same project or organization for better identification of the provenance. Whereas categories are about subjects/topics and enable to classify ontologies. As of 2016, BiodivPortal's categories were established in cooperation with FAO AIMS. In 2024, we moved to UNESCO Thesaurus (https://vocabularies.unesco.org). Groups and categories, along with other metadata, can be used on the “Browse” page of BiodivPortal to filter out the list of ontologies.
