question about multiple vocabs for use in faceted navigation

Hi Jane,
I use the EBI ontology lookup service, and NCBI’s BioPortal. They serve non-biological ontologies too, so don’t let the names put you off!
Also there is the ISA-tab creator tool that we use at Scientific Data. This allows the selection of several different ontologies within each of the specific ISA-tab fields. You’ll need to use this tool in Firefox rather than Chrome and it is a little buggy, but it does allow browsing of several ontology/structured vocabulary terms at the higher level.
Hope this is helpful!

Subject: [vocabulary_services] question about multiple vocabs for use in faceted navigation
Hello all,
At the Australian National Data Service (ANDS) we host Research Data Australia, a discovery service for collections of Australian research data. We currently use several controlled vocabularies (including a high level "fields of research" vocab) to describe items in RDA, and are looking to improve our subject browsing & faceting.
I'm wondering if you have worked with or have heard of tools that make use of multiple controlled vocabularies in one faceted navigation system... perhaps where drilling down through one high-level vocab will allow the user to select concept(s) from a more specific vocab that has been mapped "into" the hierarchy.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this topic.
All the best,
Jane

Hi,
We are working on a dedicated NCBO Bioportal instance dedicated for Agronomy.
Here is the link below. AgroPortal Search : http://agroportal.lirmm.fr/search
Please contact Dr Clement Jonquet for additional questions.
Best

Hello,
I know that Bioportal and Agroportal have ontology updates from their sources automatically. Clement could certainly give more details.

Hi Jane,
Glad it was useful, will pass your feedback onto the developers too!
Best wishes,
Varsha

Thanks Varsha, these are very helpful! I was aware of BioPortal, but not the file creator tool... really intuitive. I like the view available directly in the form & the fact that the user can go into more detail with "see all term results". The tool seems buggy even in Firefox...
