environment ontology (EnvO)

Definition

The Environment Ontology (ENVO) is an expressive, machine-actionable knowledge representation of environmental entities. Using ENVO to describe things like ecosystems, entire planets and other astronomical bodies, their parts, or environmental processes increases the interoperability of environmental descriptions, helping (meta)data records achieve demonstrable FAIRness.
