Done: Evidence & Conclusion Ontology ID (P3811) (Talk and documentation)

Description	identifier in the Evidence & Conclusion Ontology for capturing evidence in biological research
Represents	Evidence and Conclusion Ontology (Q28445410)
Data type	External identifier
Domain	evidence items. To be used with the qualifier determination method (P459)
Allowed values	ECO:[0-9]{7}
Example	enzyme assay evidence used in manual assertion -> ECO ID -> ECO:0005801
Source	http://evidenceontology.org/
Planned use	create all evidence items (~600 items)

Motivation

The Evidence Ontology (ECO) is a structured, controlled vocabulary for capturing evidence in biological research, but can be applied to other fields as well. ECO includes diverse terms for categorizing evidence that supports annotation assertions including experimental types, computational methods, author statements and curator inferences. Using ECO, annotation assertions can be distinguished according to the evidence they are based on such as those made by curators versus those automatically computed or those made via high-throughput data review versus single test experiments.

A small subset of ECO is already being used with determination method (P459) on protein items with GO terms, for example here. This will expand the number, specificity, and organization of evidence items in Wikidata, allowing more powerful queries based on types of evidence, and interoperability with other ontologies using ECO.

  - @Gstupp: It's a description but it doesn't give additional information about what the Evidence & Conclusion Ontology is about. Can you provide a more informative description? ChristianKl (talk) 12:23, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    - I added some more text to the description from the motivation. Does it look ok to you now? ArthurPSmith (talk) 18:52, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
