usages	description examples type user DrOn is used for the classification of Drugs, in particular, based on RxNorm codes, in the PennTURBO project. description url From the documentation: For example, the text `500 mg Tylenol po tabs` might be mapped to http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/DRON_00073395, with the label `Acetaminophen 500 MG Oral Tablet [Tylenol]`. DrOn knows that this is a subclass of `Acetaminophen 500 MG Oral Tablet` (through its logical axiomatisation). https://pennturbo.github.io/Turbo-Documentation/medication_text_to_terms_to_roles.html annotation https://github.com/PennTURBO

We built this ontology primarily to support comparative effectiveness researchers studying claims data. They need to be able to query U.S. National Drug Codes (NDCs) by ingredient, mechanism of action (beta-adrenergic blockade), physiological effect (diuresis), and therapeutic intent (anti-hypertensive).
