Abstract
Biomedical ontologies define concepts having biomedical significance and the semantic relations among them. Developing high-quality and reusable ontologies in the biomedical domain is a challenging task. Pattern-based ontology design is considered a promising approach to overcome the challenges. Ontology Design Patterns (ODPs) are reusable modeling solutions to facilitate ontology development. This study relies on ODPs to semantically enrich biomedical ontologies by assigning logical definitions to ontological entities. Specifically, pattern-based logical definitions grounded on dispositions are given to prenatal disorders. The proposed approach is performed under the supervision of fetal domain experts.
