Abstract

The Cell Ontology (CL) is an ontology of in vivo cell types that is undergoing extensive revision to become a full member of the OBO Foundry. To help us achieve this, a series of goals was established at a CL development workshop in May 2010. Here we describe our ongoing efforts to meet these goals including the modification of the CL s domain, the import of over 400 cell types from the Foundational Model of Anatomy, the addition of both free text and logical definitions, and the incorporation of new terms in response to our user community. These enhancements increase the utility of the CL for both researchers and ontology developers while adhering to the principles of the OBO Foundry.
