Why simplifying visualization and curation is better for everyone

As with most visualization techniques, there is no single ‘best’ way to view an ontology that fits all users and all applications. Some applications benefit from a tree view, while views providing an easily digestible high-level summary, such as heat maps or bubble diagrams, will make more sense for others.

Tools that present multi-relational ontologies in an easily consumable format have proved elusive. SciBite’s brand-new ontology management platform CENtree provides a simple interface to navigate and make common changes to ontologies, lowering the barrier for users to contribute to editing and reducing the bottleneck of having to rely on ontology experts.

We’ve designed a highly intuitive interface that allows users to easily add, replace or remove an ontology class, change its location in a hierarchy to reflect a new sub-class relationship, and enrich it with new metadata such as synonyms or text definitions.

The next blog in our ‘Ontologies with SciBite’ series discusses the benefits of facilitating collaboration and integration. If you haven’t already read our previous blog on the benefits of centralizing ontology management.
