Discovering associations between adverse drug events using pattern structures and ontologies.

Journal of biomedical semantics
BACKGROUND: Patient data, such as electronic health records or adverse event reporting systems, constitute an essential resource for studying Adverse Drug Events (ADEs). We explore an original approach to identify frequently associated ADEs in subgro...

Owlready: Ontology-oriented programming in Python with automatic classification and high level constructs for biomedical ontologies.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
OBJECTIVE: Ontologies are widely used in the biomedical domain. While many tools exist for the edition, alignment or evaluation of ontologies, few solutions have been proposed for ontology programming interface, i.e. for accessing and modifying an on...

An ontology-driven tool for structured data acquisition using Web forms.

Journal of biomedical semantics
BACKGROUND: Structured data acquisition is a common task that is widely performed in biomedicine. However, current solutions for this task are far from providing a means to structure data in such a way that it can be automatically employed in decisio...

Towards a more molecular taxonomy of disease.

Journal of biomedical semantics
BACKGROUND: Disease taxonomies have been designed for many applications, but they tend not to fully incorporate the growing amount of molecular-level knowledge of disease processes, inhibiting research efforts. Understanding the degree to which we ca...

Ontology-Based Approach to Social Data Sentiment Analysis: Detection of Adolescent Depression Signals.

Journal of medical Internet research
BACKGROUND: Social networking services (SNSs) contain abundant information about the feelings, thoughts, interests, and patterns of behavior of adolescents that can be obtained by analyzing SNS postings. An ontology that expresses the shared concepts...

Lightweight predicate extraction for patient-level cancer information and ontology development.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Knowledge engineering for ontological knowledgebases is resource and time intensive. To alleviate these issues, especially for novices, automated tools from the natural language domain can assist in the development process of ontologies. ...

Ontological interpretation of biomedical database content.

Journal of biomedical semantics
BACKGROUND: Biological databases store data about laboratory experiments, together with semantic annotations, in order to support data aggregation and retrieval. The exact meaning of such annotations in the context of a database record is often ambig...

Disease Compass- a navigation system for disease knowledge based on ontology and linked data techniques.

Journal of biomedical semantics
BACKGROUND: Medical ontologies are expected to contribute to the effective use of medical information resources that store considerable amount of data. In this study, we focused on disease ontology because the complicated mechanisms of diseases are r...

NCBO Ontology Recommender 2.0: an enhanced approach for biomedical ontology recommendation.

Journal of biomedical semantics
BACKGROUND: Ontologies and controlled terminologies have become increasingly important in biomedical research. Researchers use ontologies to annotate their data with ontology terms, enabling better data integration and interoperability across dispara...

Literature evidence in open targets - a target validation platform.

Journal of biomedical semantics
BACKGROUND: We present the Europe PMC literature component of Open Targets - a target validation platform that integrates various evidence to aid drug target identification and validation. The component identifies target-disease associations in docum...
