The TErminology for the Description of DYnamics (TEDDY) project aims to provide an ontology for dynamical behaviours, observable dynamical phenomena, and control elements of bio-models and biological systems in Systems Biology and Synthetic Biology.

TEDDY resources

Access to TEDDY

The latest public version of TEDDY is available from the BioPortal web page. You can also use the TEDDY explorer to get more information on the ontology structure.

The current release can also be accessed from TEDDY Sourceforge web page. For all releases refer to Ontology.

Contribute!

You can contribute to TEDDY through its sourceforge wiki. Please suggest new terms and corrections through the Ticket System. You can also discuss the evolution of the ontology on the dedicated mailing-list.
