The Gerontology Ontology (Aging/Senescence Ontology; the Ontology for Aging and Longevity) [GERO] (from GEROntology) is an Ontology formalizing the conceptualization of the basic Aging process and therefore makes Aging Machine-Understandable. The Ontology of the Gerontology is a mid-level Ontology for supporting Aging-related Research that is able to connect phenomena from molecular and cellular level via the phenotypical level up to the social and demographic level. ¶

Following the Role Model of the Infectious Disease Ontology, a species-independent mid-level Ontology will be constructed, from which Species-specific
oOntologies can be derived from (e.g. GERO-Mouse, GERO-Human, etc.). ¶

GERO aims at joining the OBO community and applies the Principles for Ontology Development of the OBO Foundry [http://obofoundry.org/wiki/index.php/category:principles]. ¶
