description: The Experimental Factor Ontology (EFO) provides a systematic description
  of many experimental variables available in EBI databases. It combines parts of
  several biological ontologies, such as anatomy, disease and chemical compounds.
  The scope of EFO is to support the annotation, analysis and visualization of data
  handled by the EBI Functional Genomics Team.
