The document describes ontology web services created by the National Center for Biomedical Ontology to facilitate the application of ontologies in biomedical science. The services provide access to ontologies and related functions like searching, term details, hierarchies and mappings. Additional services allow the creation of ontology-based annotations using tools like the annotator and ontology recommender. All services are accessible via RESTful web APIs.
