The Gerontology Ontology (the Ontology for Aging and Longevity, GERO) is an Oontology formalizing the conceptualization of the basic Aaging process and therefore makes Aaging Mmachine-Uunderstandable. The Oontology of the Ggerontology is a mid-level </span><del style="background:#ffe6e6;">O</del><ins style="background:#e6ffe6;">o</ins><span>ntology for supporting Aaging-related Rresearch that is able to connect phenomena from molecular and cellular level via the phenotypical level up to the social and demographic level. ¶

Following the
Rrole Mmodel of the Infectious Disease Ontology, a species-independent mid-level Oontology 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
Pprinciples for Oontology Ddevelopment of the OBO Foundry [http://obofoundry.org/wiki/index.php/category:principles]. ¶
