Utilizing a structural meta-ontology for family-based quality assurance of the BioPortal ontologies.

Journal of biomedical informatics
An Abstraction Network is a compact summary of an ontology's structure and content. In previous research, we showed that Abstraction Networks support quality assurance (QA) of biomedical ontologies. The development of an Abstraction Network and its a...

Extracting drug-enzyme relation from literature as evidence for drug drug interaction.

Journal of biomedical semantics
BACKGROUND: Information about drug-drug interactions (DDIs) is crucial for computational applications such as pharmacovigilance and drug repurposing. However, existing sources of DDIs have the problems of low coverage, low accuracy and low agreement....

Vaccine and Drug Ontology Studies (VDOS 2014).

Journal of biomedical semantics
The "Vaccine and Drug Ontology Studies" (VDOS) international workshop series focuses on vaccine- and drug-related ontology modeling and applications. Drugs and vaccines have been critical to prevent and treat human and animal diseases. Work in both (...

Semantic representation of reported measurements in radiology.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: In radiology, a vast amount of diverse data is generated, and unstructured reporting is standard. Hence, much useful information is trapped in free-text form, and often lost in translation and transmission. One relevant source of free-tex...

A Natural Language Interface Concordant with a Knowledge Base.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
The discordance between expressions interpretable by a natural language interface (NLI) system and those answerable by a knowledge base is a critical problem in the field of NLIs. In order to solve this discordance problem, this paper proposes a meth...

Ontology Alignment Repair through Modularization and Confidence-Based Heuristics.

PloS one
Ontology Matching aims at identifying a set of semantic correspondences, called an alignment, between related ontologies. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in efficient and effective matching methods for large ontologies. However, al...

OntoStudyEdit: a new approach for ontology-based representation and management of metadata in clinical and epidemiological research.

Journal of biomedical semantics
BACKGROUND: The specification of metadata in clinical and epidemiological study projects absorbs significant expense. The validity and quality of the collected data depend heavily on the precise and semantical correct representation of their metadata...

Special issue on bio-ontologies and phenotypes.

Journal of biomedical semantics
The bio-ontologies and phenotypes special issue includes eight papers selected from the 11 papers presented at the Bio-Ontologies SIG (Special Interest Group) and the Phenotype Day at ISMB (Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology) conference in Bos...
