Linked Data Applications Through Ontology Based Data Access in Clinical Research.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Clinical care and research data are widely dispersed in isolated systems based on heterogeneous data models. Biomedicine predominantly makes use of connected datasets based on the Semantic Web paradigm. Initiatives like Bio2RDF created Resource Descr...

Better living through ontologies at the Immune Epitope Database.

Database : the journal of biological databases and curation
UNLABELLED: The Immune Epitope Database (IEDB) project incorporates independently developed ontologies and controlled vocabularies into its curation and search interface. This simplifies curation practices, improves the user query experience and faci...

Tutorial on Protein Ontology Resources.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)
The Protein Ontology (PRO) is the reference ontology for proteins in the Open Biomedical Ontologies (OBO) foundry and consists of three sub-ontologies representing protein classes of homologous genes, proteoforms (e.g., splice isoforms, sequence vari...

Primer on Ontologies.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)
As molecular biology has increasingly become a data-intensive discipline, ontologies have emerged as an essential computational tool to assist in the organisation, description and analysis of data. Ontologies describe and classify the entities of int...

What is information?

Philosophical transactions. Series A, Mathematical, physical, and engineering sciences
Molecular biology is based on two great discoveries: the first is that genes carry hereditary information in the form of linear sequences of nucleotides; the second is that in protein synthesis a sequence of nucleotides is translated into a sequence ...

Expansion of the Hierarchical Terminology Auditing Framework Through Usage of Levenshtein Distance-Based Criterion.

Studies in health technology and informatics
We continue our previous work of creating and improving a framework for detecting the differences between hierarchical terminologies and suggesting ways to connect them, which is implemented in an automated tool.

Preliminary Analysis of Difficulty of Importing Pattern-Based Concepts into the National Cancer Institute Thesaurus.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Maintenance of biomedical ontologies is difficult. We have developed a pattern-based method for dealing with the problem of identifying missing concepts in the National Cancer Institute thesaurus (NCIt). Specifically, we are mining patterns connectin...

Suggesting Missing Relations in Biomedical Ontologies Based on Lexical Regularities.

Studies in health technology and informatics
The number of biomedical ontologies has increased significantly in recent years. Many of such ontologies are the result of efforts of communities of domain experts and ontology engineers. The development and application of quality assurance (QA) meth...

Datamining with Ontologies.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)
The use of ontologies has increased rapidly over the past decade and they now provide a key component of most major databases in biology and biomedicine. Consequently, datamining over these databases benefits from considering the specific structure a...
