EDAM-Browser

EDAM-Browser provides client-side JavaScript visualization of the EDAM ontology (Enzyme, DNA, and RNA database) to support annotation and searching of bioinformatics resources and services.

Key Features:

• Client-side JavaScript visualization: Implements a JavaScript widget for client-side rendering and interactive visualization of ontology terms.
• Ontology exploration: Enables navigation and inspection of the EDAM ontology structure and terms for discovery of bioinformatics concepts and resources.
• Performance optimization: Optimized for responsive interaction and handling of large ontology datasets.

Scientific Applications:

• Annotation of bioinformatics resources: Supports assigning EDAM ontology terms to bioinformatics tools, databases, and services for standardized description.
• Resource search and discovery: Facilitates locating bioinformatics resources and services via EDAM-based term exploration.
• Ontology curation and contribution: Supports activities related to refining or extending the EDAM ontology through term inspection and selection.

Methodology:

Implements a client-side JavaScript widget that visualizes and enables exploration of the EDAM ontology.
