Gene Ontology Consortium

The Gene Ontology project provides a controlled vocabulary to describe gene and gene product attributes in any organism.
The RNA Ontology Consortium

The RNA Ontology project provides a controlled vocabulary to describe RNA structure and alignment.
The Biosapiens Protein Feature Ontology

Biosapiens is providing a set of terms with which to annotate polypeptide sequence, for structural data. A subset of these terms are also in SO.
Open Biomedical Ontologies

The OBO Foundry is a collaborative experiment involving developers of science-based ontologies who are establishing a set of principles for ontology development with the goal of creating a suite of orthogonal interoperable reference ontologies in the biomedical domain.
Generic Model Organism Database

GMOD is a collection of open source software tools for creating and managing genome-scale biological databases.
