The flora phenotype ontology (FLOPO): tool for integrating morphological traits and phenotypes of vascular plants.

Journal of biomedical semantics
BACKGROUND: The systematic analysis of a large number of comparable plant trait data can support investigations into phylogenetics and ecological adaptation, with broad applications in evolutionary biology, agriculture, conservation, and the function...

TNM-O: ontology support for staging of malignant tumours.

Journal of biomedical semantics
BACKGROUND: Objectives of this work are to (1) present an ontological framework for the TNM classification system, (2) exemplify this framework by an ontology for colon and rectum tumours, and (3) evaluate this ontology by assigning TNM classes to re...

Evaluating semantic similarity between Chinese biomedical terms through multiple ontologies with score normalization: An initial study.

Journal of biomedical informatics
BACKGROUND: Semantic similarity estimation significantly promotes the understanding of natural language resources and supports medical decision making. Previous studies have investigated semantic similarity and relatedness estimation between biomedic...

The Pre-Eclampsia Ontology: A Disease Ontology Representing the Domain Knowledge Specific to Pre-Eclampsia.

PloS one
Pre-eclampsia (PE) is a clinical syndrome characterized by new-onset hypertension and proteinuria at ≥20 weeks of gestation, and is a leading cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Previous studies have gathered abundant data about ...

Supporting the analysis of ontology evolution processes through the combination of static and dynamic scaling functions in OQuaRE.

Journal of biomedical semantics
BACKGROUND: The biomedical community has now developed a significant number of ontologies. The curation of biomedical ontologies is a complex task and biomedical ontologies evolve rapidly, so new versions are regularly and frequently published in ont...

Dione: An OWL representation of ICD-10-CM for classifying patients' diseases.

Journal of biomedical semantics
BACKGROUND: Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine - Clinical Terms (SNOMED CT) has been designed as standard clinical terminology for annotating Electronic Health Records (EHRs). EHRs textual information is used to classify patients' diseases into an...

Ontobee: A linked ontology data server to support ontology term dereferencing, linkage, query and integration.

Nucleic acids research
Linked Data (LD) aims to achieve interconnected data by representing entities using Unified Resource Identifiers (URIs), and sharing information using Resource Description Frameworks (RDFs) and HTTP. Ontologies, which logically represent entities and...

TrhOnt: building an ontology to assist rehabilitation processes.

Journal of biomedical semantics
BACKGROUND: One of the current research efforts in the area of biomedicine is the representation of knowledge in a structured way so that reasoning can be performed on it. More precisely, in the field of physiotherapy, information such as the physiot...

Making adjustments to event annotations for improved biological event extraction.

Journal of biomedical semantics
BACKGROUND: Current state-of-the-art approaches to biological event extraction train statistical models in a supervised manner on corpora annotated with event triggers and event-argument relations. Inspecting such corpora, we observe that there is am...

Diagnosis, misdiagnosis, lucky guess, hearsay, and more: an ontological analysis.

Journal of biomedical semantics
BACKGROUND: Disease and diagnosis have been the subject of much ontological inquiry. However, the insights gained therein have not yet been well enough applied to the study, management, and improvement of data quality in electronic health records (EH...
