Mappings between ontologies, or between an ontology and an ontology-like resource, are a necessary fact of life when working with ontologies. For example, GO provides mappings to external resources such as KEGG, MetaCyc, RHEA, EC, and many others. Uberon (a multi-species anatomy ontology) provides mappings to species-specific anatomy ontologies like ZFA, FMA, and also to more specialized resources such as the Allen Brain Atlases. These mappings can be used for a variety of purposes, such as data integration – data annotated using different ontologies can be ‘cross-walked’ to use a single system.
