traits to EFO in the future is under development in line with on-going development in EFO, which requires this provision for some of its other use cases as well.
We present the GWAS Ontology and Curation Infrastructure (GOCI), a collection of modules and features for the improvement of the curation, trait organization and querying of the NHGRI GWAS catalog (Hindorff et al., 2010). Augmenting the catalogue’s phenotypic traits with the semantic framework of an ontology will increase the range of possible catalogue queries, facilitate the creation of a dynamic version of the iconic GWAS diagram and accelerate the integration of catalogue data with other sources. GOCI also includes a tracking system to support the complex curation process and safeguard the extremely high quality of curation the catalogue is known for.
