Standardizing exposures and outcomes in zebrafish. In this study, zebrafish embryos were exposed to an aldehyde by four different labs (formaldehyde CHEBI:16842 and glutaraldehyde CHEBI:64276). Once hatched, the zebrafish were observed for irregular phenotypes, and all displayed an abnormality of their somites. The names used to describe the stimulus and the outcome was different in each of the four labs. Using ontologies like the Zebrafish Phenotype Ontology (ZP), the Environmental Conditions, Treatments, and Exposures Ontology (ECTO), and the Chemicals of Biological Interest Ontology (ChEBI) we can integrate data from four different labs even though they use different terms and different stimuli
