What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you resolve biomedical ontology terms by searching, retrieving definitions, and exploring hierarchical relationships across many public ontologies.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Term search and autocomplete: Find ontology entries by keyword (and suggest likely completions for partial names), optionally constrained to a specific ontology.
• Deep term retrieval: Pull detailed term metadata including definitions, synonyms, status, subsets, and graph-based structure.
• Hierarchy navigation: Retrieve parents, children, ancestors, descendants, and hierarchical variants that follow transitive relations like part-of and develops-from.
• Ontology metadata and statistics: Look up ontology catalog information and OLS index stats to support downstream analysis or reporting.

Quick Start

Use the embl-ebi-ols skill to find the parent terms of a specific disease by asking the AI to get the OLS term details for DOID:5844 and return its parents.
