During the past 5 years we have assembled an open source framework for a human disease ontology based on OBO principles. The development itself has been use case driven (mapping disease to billing and EMR data in clinical records being the original use cases). The Disease Ontology (DO) has gone through three major revisions, with each overcoming substantial limitations of the previous version. The initial DO was designed primarily around ICD codes, the second was based on SNOMED , MeSH and UMLS , and the third was a reorganization of those terms along more clinically relevant axes, those axes being anatomical location, environment, infectious agent and aberrant process. DO needs to and is actively moving towards building a community of mutual invested members, most likely with multiple communities of practice growing and evolving around specific areas or viewpoints of disease. We also recognize the importance of linking signs and symptoms (phenotype) with disease, and providing a framework for linking phenotype through disease to genetic information.
