Overview     The Evidence Ontology is a controlled vocabulary of terms describing the evidence that supports assertions within Pathway/Genome Databases. The ontology currently contains 160 terms.

Motivation
   
The Evidence Ontology was developed to provide a controlled vocabulary of terms for defining the different types of experimental and computational evidence that support assertions within Pathway/Genome Databases such as the MetaCyc database. Examples include evidence supporting predicted metabolic pathways and operons, and evidence supporting experimentally determined enzyme functions.

More Information
   
For more information see "An Evidence Ontology for use in Pathway/Genome Databases" in the 2004 Proceedings of the Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing [PDF].
