Groups, Consortiums & Institutions

Computational Neuroscience in Europe	Extensive resource of a wide variety of tools in Europe.
International Neuroinformatics Coordination Facility.	The Global Science Forum (GSF) of the OECD has initiated a new international organization, INCF, to further the development of Neuroinformatics as a global effort with the support of all ministers of research within OECD
Neuroinformatics Site	Serving the international neuroinformatics community with information and access to courses and workshops.

OBI	The Ontology for Biomedical Investigations (OBI) project is developing an integrated ontology for the description of life-science and clinical investigations. Metaneva participates in their efforts to provide an open standard for the biomedical sciences.
Basic Formal Ontology	BFO grows out of a philosophical orientation which overlaps with that of DOLCE and SUMO. Unlike these, however, it is narrowly focused on the task of providing a genuine upper ontology which can be used in support of domain ontologies developed for scientific research, as for example in biomedicine within the framework of the OBO Foundry. Thus BFO does not contain physical, chemical, biological or other terms which would properly fall within the special sciences domains.
Protege	Protégé is a free, open source ontology editor and knowledge-base framework.
The National Center for Biomedical Ontology	The goal of the Center is to support biomedical researchers in their knowledge-intensive work, by providing online tools and a Web portal enabling them to access, review, and integrate disparate ontological resources in all aspects of biomedical investigation and clinical practice. A major focus of our work involves the use of biomedical ontologies to aid in the management and analysis of data derived from complex experiments.

CocoMac	Collations of Connectivity data on the Macaque brain. This approach attempts to produce a systematic record of the known wiring of the primate brain.
BrainInfo	BrainInfo is a website that helps one identify structures in the brain and provides many different kinds of information about each structure.
BrainMaps	BrainMaps.org is an interactive multiresolution next-generation brain atlas that is based on over 20 million megapixels of sub-micron resolution, annotated, scanned images of serial sections of both primate and non-primate brains and that is integrated with a high-speed database for querying and retrieving data about brain structure and function over the internet. Currently featured are complete brain atlas datasets for various species, including Macaca mulatta, Chlorocebus aethiops, Felis catus, Mus musculus, Rattus norvegicus, and Tyto alba.
MAP	The Mouse Atlas Project (MAP) aims to develop a dynamic, probabilistic atlas of the adult and developing C57BL/6J mouse.
BAMPS	An online resource for information about neural circuitry.
