Biomedical ontologies are repositories of knowledge that encapsulate biomedical terms and the relationships between them. When visualized, ontologies are complex graphs, where each node represents one biomedical concept, and links express binary rela...
Biomedical ontologies are a key component in many systems for the analysis of textual clinical data. They are employed to organize information about a certain domain relying on a hierarchy of different classes. Each class maps a concept to items in a...
