MAxO is specifically designed to organize medical procedures, therapies, and interventions 
in a structured way. Each term in MAxO describes a medical action such as *bronchoscopy*.

MAxO can be explored with the `OLS4 browser <https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ols4/ontologies/maxo>`_.

This repository explains how to contribute annotations to the MAxO project using 
the `POET <https://poet.jax.org/>`_ tool.
