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.
