Labeling for Big Data in radiation oncology: The Radiation Oncology Structures ontology.

PloS one
PURPOSE: Leveraging Electronic Health Records (EHR) and Oncology Information Systems (OIS) has great potential to generate hypotheses for cancer treatment, since they directly provide medical data on a large scale. In order to gather a significant am...

OpenBiodiv-O: ontology of the OpenBiodiv knowledge management system.

Journal of biomedical semantics
BACKGROUND: The biodiversity domain, and in particular biological taxonomy, is moving in the direction of semantization of its research outputs. The present work introduces OpenBiodiv-O, the ontology that serves as the basis of the OpenBiodiv Knowled...

MIRO: guidelines for minimum information for the reporting of an ontology.

Journal of biomedical semantics
BACKGROUND: Creation and use of ontologies has become a mainstream activity in many disciplines, in particular, the biomedical domain. Ontology developers often disseminate information about these ontologies in peer-reviewed ontology description repo...

Brain maps 4.0-Structure of the rat brain: An open access atlas with global nervous system nomenclature ontology and flatmaps.

The Journal of comparative neurology
The fourth edition (following editions in 1992, 1998, 2004) of Brain maps: structure of the rat brain is presented here as an open access internet resource for the neuroscience community. One new feature is a set of 10 hierarchical nomenclature table...

Tackling the challenges of matching biomedical ontologies.

Journal of biomedical semantics
BACKGROUND: Biomedical ontologies pose several challenges to ontology matching due both to the complexity of the biomedical domain and to the characteristics of the ontologies themselves. The biomedical tracks in the Ontology Matching Evaluation Init...

The eXtensible ontology development (XOD) principles and tool implementation to support ontology interoperability.

Journal of biomedical semantics
Ontologies are critical to data/metadata and knowledge standardization, sharing, and analysis. With hundreds of biological and biomedical ontologies developed, it has become critical to ensure ontology interoperability and the usage of interoperable ...

Construction of mammographic examination process ontology using bottom-up hierarchical task analysis.

Radiological physics and technology
Describing complex mammography examination processes is important for improving the quality of mammograms. It is often difficult for experienced radiologic technologists to explain the process because their techniques depend on their experience and i...

Improving the interoperability of biomedical ontologies with compound alignments.

Journal of biomedical semantics
BACKGROUND: Ontologies are commonly used to annotate and help process life sciences data. Although their original goal is to facilitate integration and interoperability among heterogeneous data sources, when these sources are annotated with distinct ...

Ontology-based systematic representation and analysis of traditional Chinese drugs against rheumatism.

BMC systems biology
BACKGROUND: Rheumatism represents any disease condition marked with inflammation and pain in the joints, muscles, or connective tissues. Many traditional Chinese drugs have been used for a long time to treat rheumatism. However, a comprehensive infor...

Comparison, alignment, and synchronization of cell line information between CLO and EFO.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: The Experimental Factor Ontology (EFO) is an application ontology driven by experimental variables including cell lines to organize and describe the diverse experimental variables and data resided in the EMBL-EBI resources. The Cell Line ...
