  DRAFT 


We have two types of cross-references in the ontology: (1) Definition database cross-references and (2) General database cross-references.

Definition database cross-references

Definition database cross-references are citable references that have helped generate the term and term's definition. Includes

  • PMIDs (ideally all terms should have a PMID, but we have many terms not having them yet)
  • Rhea for enzymes*

Can also include (if nothing else is available)

  • ISBN
  • Wikipedia
  • EC*
  • KEGG*
  • MetaCyc*
  • TCDB*
  • Make sure those are also in the General database cross-references

General database cross-references

General database cross-references are links to external resources.

  • EC
  • KEGG
  • MetaCyc
  • Reactome
  • Rhea
  • TCDB
