Following the role model of the Infectious Disease Ontology, a species-independent mid-level ontology will be constructed, from which species-specific ontologies 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]. ¶
