Tagging Bioconductor packages with EDAM

Key Points

• Integrating the EDAM ontology improves organization of resources within Bioconductor and major initiatives like ELIXIR.
• The EDAM ontology provides a structured framework for resource classification, enhancing accessibility for researchers.
• Bioconductor relies on an ad hoc terminologic hierarchy called biocViews for tagging methods and data resources.
• This approach may facilitate better resource discovery, suggesting a need for continued development in nomenclature systems.
