Exploring biomedical ontology mappings with graph theory methods
BACKGROUND In the era of semantic web, life science ontologies play an important role in tasks such as annotating biological objects, linking relevant data pieces, and verifying data consistency. Understanding ontology structures and overlapping ontologies is essential for tasks such as ontology reuse and development. We present an exploratory study where we examine structure and look for patte...
متن کاملMethods in biomedical ontology
Research on ontologies is becoming widespread in the biomedical informatics community. At the same time, it has become apparent that the challenges of properly constructing and maintaining ontologies have proven more difficult than many workers in the field initially expected. Discovering general, feasible methods has thus become a central activity for many of those hoping to reap the benefits ...
متن کاملExploring ontology metrics in the biomedical domain
Ontologies are gaining popularity in many domains as a way of representing, dealing and reasoning with large volumes of information, and they are starting to play a major role in computational science applications, e.g. in biomedical studies. The creation and maintenance of ontologies has become an engineering process that needs to be managed and measured. Therefore, as part of any ontology eng...
متن کاملExploring biological data: Mappings between ontology- and cluster-based representations
Ontologies and hierarchical clustering are both important tools in biology and medicine to study highthroughput data such as transcriptomics and metabolomics data. Enrichment of ontology terms in the data is used to identify statistically overrepresented ontology terms, giving insight into relevant biological processes or functional modules. Hierarchical clustering is a standard method to analy...
متن کاملExploring a Quantum Theory with Graph Rewriting and Computer Algebra
Graphical languages provide a powerful tool for describing the behaviour of quantum systems. While the use of graphs vastly reduces the complexity of many calculations [4, 10], manual graphical manipulation quickly becomes untenable for large graphs or large numbers of graphs. To combat this issue, we are developing a tool called Quantomatic, which allows automated and semi-automated exploratio...
