Taxonomies API Endpoints

The Taxonomies app provides standardized classification systems and controlled vocabularies for neuroscience research. This ensures consistent data annotation and enables effective data discovery and comparison across studies and laboratories.

Available Endpoints

The Taxonomies app includes the following standardized classification endpoints:

• Behavioral Categories - Hierarchical classification of behavioral domains
• Behavioral Paradigms - Standardized behavioral tasks and protocols
• Brain Regions - Anatomical brain region ontology and hierarchy
• Regulatory Authorities - Organizations that issue and oversee research approvals and licenses
• Setup Types - Standardized experimental setup classifications
• Species - Animal species classification and information
• Strains - Genetic strain definitions and characteristics

These taxonomies provide the foundation for consistent data annotation and enable powerful search and comparison capabilities.

Common Use Cases

• Standardize species and strain information across experiments
• Classify experimental setups using consistent terminology
• Annotate data with standardized brain region information
• Enable cross-study comparisons using common vocabularies
• Facilitate data discovery through standardized metadata
• Ensure compliance with community standards and ontologies
