Hello.
The text for the link above to “BRO Biological Resources Ontology” should be corrected to “.BRO Biomedical Resource Ontology”.
This is not only a syntactical issue, but a semantic one, since according to OECD definition biological resources means
culturable organisms (e.g. micro-organisms, plant, animal and human cells) and replicable parts of these (e.g. genomes, plasmids, viruses, cDNAs).
