The growing significance of bioinformatics and systems biology in drug safety research requires a system of adverse‐event classification that goes beyond a simple vocabulary. This opinion piece outlines the need for development of an ontology‐based framework of describing adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and describes the potential applications for such a framework. Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics (2012); 91 6, 963–965. doi: 10.1038/clpt.2012.41
