About
History
The Biopragmatics Stack was created by Charles Tapley Hoyt in 2019 while at Fraunhofer SCAI. Its first component was PyOBO, which initially supported the generation of Biological Expression Language (BEL) namespace files. The Bioregistry was initially developed as a component of PyOBO and was spun out into its own repository in 2020.
Since, the Biopragmatics Stack has added several additional components that support a wider and more generic set of data standardization and integration problems in the life and natural sciences.
