In sub-Saharan African countries the prevention and control of epidemic diseases requires the improvement of the surveillance system for these diseases. Biomedical ontologies are a growing field that can improve health information systems. Indeed bio...
MOTIVATION: Searching for precise terms and terminological definitions in the biomedical data space is problematic, as researchers find overlapping, closely related and even equivalent concepts in a single or multiple ontologies. Search engines that ...

The article presents the semantic model of diagnostics and treatment of patients with gastrointestinal bleedings when the reasons of bleeding cannot be establihed by means of a laboratory tests, endoscopy and colonoscopy.
We present Doc2Hpo, an interactive web application that enables interactive and efficient phenotype concept curation from clinical text with automated concept normalization using the Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO). Users can edit the HPO concepts aut...

One of the most widely acknowledged standards in health informatics is HL7 (Health Level 7 International). HL7 FHIR® (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) is a new HL7 standard for exchanging electronic health data. It builds upon previous HL7...
MOTIVATION: Ontologies are widely used in biology for data annotation, integration and analysis. In addition to formally structured axioms, ontologies contain meta-data in the form of annotation axioms which provide valuable pieces of information tha...

OBJECTIVE: In biomedicine, there is a wealth of information hidden in unstructured narratives such as research articles and clinical reports. To exploit these data properly, a word sense disambiguation (WSD) algorithm prevents downstream difficulties...
An ontology offers a human-readable and machine-computable representation of the concepts in a domain and the relationships among them. Mappings between ontologies enable the reuse and interoperability of biomedical knowledge. We sought to map concep...

This Special Issue, entitled "Cranial Nerves: phylogeny, ontogeny, morphology and clinical significance," has been divided into two consecutive volumes. We present here the first volume, devoted to phylogeny and ontogeny. Articles in this volume exam...
MOTIVATION: A major component in increasing our understanding of the biology of an organism is the mapping of its genotypic potential into its phenotypic expression profiles. This mapping is executed by the machinery of gene regulation, which is esse...
