Controlled Vocabulary
We define a Controlled Vocabulary as a collection of unique terms from the same context such, that each term contains a name, description, and if necessary, more attributes. DeepBlue has 5 different controlled vocabularies, one for each of the following contexts:
- Genomes
- Epigenetic Marks
- BioSources
- Techniques
- Projects
These controlled vocabularies are used for describing Experiments and the genomes controlled vocabulary is used by the Annotations.
