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...

An empirical analysis of ontology reuse in BioPortal.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Biomedical ontologies often reuse content (i.e., classes and properties) from other ontologies. Content reuse enables a consistent representation of a domain and reusing content can save an ontology author significant time and effort. Prior studies h...

Bacterial Virus Ontology; Coordinating across Databases.

Viruses
Bacterial viruses, also called bacteriophages, display a great genetic diversity and utilize unique processes for infecting and reproducing within a host cell. All these processes were investigated and indexed in the ViralZone knowledge base. To faci...

The Origins of Social Categorization.

Trends in cognitive sciences
Forming conceptually-rich social categories helps people to navigate the complex social world by allowing them to reason about the likely thoughts, beliefs, actions, and interactions of others, as guided by group membership. Nevertheless, social cate...

Modulated evaluation metrics for drug-based ontologies.

Journal of biomedical semantics
BACKGROUND: Research for ontology evaluation is scarce. If biomedical ontological datasets and knowledgebases are to be widely used, there needs to be quality control and evaluation for the content and structure of the ontology. This paper introduces...

Using classification models for the generation of disease-specific medications from biomedical literature and clinical data repository.

Journal of biomedical informatics
OBJECTIVE: Mining disease-specific associations from existing knowledge resources can be useful for building disease-specific ontologies and supporting knowledge-based applications. Many association mining techniques have been exploited. However, the...

A Machine Learning-based Method for Question Type Classification in Biomedical Question Answering.

Methods of information in medicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Biomedical question type classification is one of the important components of an automatic biomedical question answering system. The performance of the latter depends directly on the performance of its biomedical question ty...
