The European Language Social Science Thesaurus (ELSST) is a broad-based, multilingual thesaurus for the social sciences. It is owned and published by the Consortium of European Social Science Data Archives (CESSDA) and its national Service Providers. The thesaurus consists of over 3,000 concepts and covers the core social science disciplines: politics, sociology, economics, education, law, crime, demography, health, employment, information and communication technology and, increasingly, environmental science.

An ontology to describe legislation, based on the FRBR model, that encodes the ELI metadata fields.

This ontology is designed to support data search, retrieval and information identification in the EJP-RD catalogs which covers the registries and biobanks for rare diseases. (from repository)

An educational ontology for personalised recommendation learning systems that is based on learning path and user profile. It represents the key components for a personalised learning system based on our requirement analysis.

The Europeana Data Model (EDM) is aimed at being an integration medium for collecting, connecting and enriching the descriptions provided by Europeana data providers. The RDF vocabulary for http://www.europeana.eu/schemas/edm/ defines the elements introduced by EDM (as opposed to the ones EDM re-uses from other namespaces).

Coverage of the terminology appearing in JMLA was extended with terms from MeSH, NCI Thesaurus (NCI), Emtree, the HTA Database Canadian Repository [international repository for health technology assessment], and Robert Sandieson's synonym ring for research synthesis. Collected terms were enriched with terms from the NCI Metathesaurus. Variants include synonyms for preferred terms, singular and plural forms, and American and British spellings. Definitions, if they exist, are mainly from MeSH, NCI, Emtree, and medical dictionaries.

EcoLexicon represents the conceptual structure of the specialized domain of the Environment in the form of a visual thesaurus. This thesaurus has been elaborated according to the theoretical premises of Frame-Based Terminology.

EcoCyc is a scientific database for the bacterium Escherichia coli K-12 MG1655. The EcoCyc project performs literature-based curation of its genome, and of transcriptional regulation, transporters, and metabolic pathways.

The ECMDB is an expertly curated database containing extensive metabolomic data and metabolic pathway diagrams about Escherichia coli (strain K12, MG1655). This database includes significant quantities of “original” data compiled by members of the Wishart laboratory as well as additional material derived from hundreds of textbooks, scientific journals, metabolic reconstructions and other electronic databases. Each metabolite is linked to more than 100 data fields describing the compound, its ontology, physical properties, reactions, pathways, references, external links and associated proteins or enzymes.

Echinobase supports the international research community by providing a centralized, integrated and easy to use web based resource to access the diverse and rich, functional genomics data of echinoderm species.

The Electrocardiography (ECG) Ontology is a Driving Biological Project of the NCBO. The ECG Ontology will contain terms for describing electrocardiograms, their capture method(s) and their waveforms.

The European Collection of Authenticated Cell Cultures (ECACC) is one of four Culture Collections of Public Health England. We supply authenticated and quality controlled cell lines, nucleic acids and induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs).

The Enzyme Nomenclature (also known as the Enzyme Commission Code) is a species-agnostic controlled vocabulary for specific enzymes and an associated hierarchical classification into 7 main categories. The Enzyme Nomenclature is maintained by the [Nomenclature Committee](https://iubmb.org/about/committees/nomenclature-committee/) of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB). A detailed history of the nomenclature since the 1950s can be found [here](https://iubmb.qmul.ac.uk/enzyme/history.html). There are few notable resources providing access to the Enzyme Nomenclature: <table class="table table-striped"><thead><tr><th>Website</th><th>Homepage</td><th>Notes</td></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>ExplorEnz</td><td><a href="https://www.enzyme-database.org">https://www.enzyme-database.org</a></td><td>This is the resource officially recommended by IUBMB</td></tr><tr><td>IUBMB (via by Queen Mary)</td><td><a href="https://iubmb.qmul.ac.uk/enzyme">https://iubmb.qmul.ac.uk/enzyme</a></td><td>This is a web-based version of the <a href="https://archive.org/details/enzymenomenclatu0000inte_d6c2">1992 publication</a>.</td></tr><tr><td>IntEnz</td><td><a href="https://www.ebi.ac.uk/intenz">https://www.ebi.ac.uk/intenz</a></td><td>Shutdown in 2024</td></tr><tr><td>ExPaSy</td><td><a href="https://enzyme.expasy.org">https://enzyme.expasy.org</a></td></tr><tr><td>EnzymePortal</td><td><a href="https://www.ebi.ac.uk/enzymeportal">https://www.ebi.ac.uk/enzymeportal</a></td><td></td></tr></tbody></table>

This mini-ontology contains classes and instances for each version of the licenses that are commonly used in software projects, particularly open source software projects. The URI's for each are the canonical URI's for that license (where they exist).

The Semantic Resource Types Vocabulary was created for NSF's EarthCube Program's Resource Repository. Includes entries for things like 'thesaurus', 'ontology', 'controlled vocabulary', 'taxonomy'.

This ontology defines a taxonomy of software functions based on the work of the NSF-funded EarthCube Resource Registry working group. The functions are generally organized by their role in the research process.

The Data Model Language Controlled Vocabulary was created for NSF's EarthCube Program's Resource Registry. At this point it merely lists a few of the languages used by data model resources in the registry.

The Audience Types Controlled Vocabulary was created for NSF's EarthCube program's Resource Registry. The vocabulary defines the types of audience each resource in the program is targeted to. At this point the vocabulary is very bare - no term definitions even; however, the intention is to extend the vocabulary over time. If you would like to assist with this or in extending any of the other controlled vocabularies/ontologies developed as part of the Resource Registry project, please see https://github.com/earthcubearchitecture-ecresourcereg.

EARL is a vocabulary, the terms of which are defined across a set of specifications and technical notes, and that is used to describe test results. The primary motivation for developing this vocabulary is to facilitate the exchange of test results between Web accessibility evaluation tools in a vendor-neutral and platform-independent format. It also provides reusable terms for generic quality assurance and validation purposes. [from homepage]
