Phenote is a general-purpose open source platform-independent application to facilitate data annotation using ontologies.
Originally developed as a literature curation tool for biomedical phenotype annotation, Phenote can be customized to suit any user-specified domain requiring ontology-based annotation. The all-in-one interface allows users to quickly search and view corresponding metadata for relevant ontology terms during data entry, browse through the ontology in a navigation window, and view the data annotations in a spreadsheet-like window. Data recorded with Phenote can be ported to any external application or database using one of its built-in data adapters, or by plugging in a custom data adapter generated with the API.
Phenote is a project of the Berkeley Bioinformatics Open-Source Projects (BBOP).
