Mechanisms in biomedical ontology
The concept of a mechanism has become a standard proposal for explanations in biology. It has been claimed that mechanistic explanations are appropriate for systems biology, because they occupy a middle ground between strict reductionism and holism. Because of their importance in the field a formal ontological description of mechanisms is desirable. The standard philosophical accounts of mechan...
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 کاملInjectable Hydrogels: A Review of Injectability Mechanisms and Biomedical Applications
Hydrogels have been used for biomedical applications in recent decades. They are a perfect candidate for regenerative medicine as they resemble the extracellular matrix of native tissues. In addition, their highly hydrated structure makes them a suitable choice for drug and other therapeutics delivery. Injectable hydrogels have increasingly gained attention due to their capability for homogeneo...
متن کاملBiomedical Ontology in Action Biomedical Ontology in Action Contributions to This Special Issue
Biomedical ontology is now an important element of biomedical research [1], healthcare [2] and public health [3], especially when it comes to integrating datasets in support of translational research [4]. Broadly defined, biomedical ontologies include the thesauri, terminologies, classifications and other coding systems used in biomedicine, in addition to those resources concerned with the iden...
متن کاملBiomedical Ontology Evolution in the EMBL-EBI Ontology Lookup Service
As ontologies are playing an increasingly important role in data annotation on today’s Semantic Web, there is a need to observe their constant evolution. At EMBL-EBI ontology preservation and curation is of growing value, and new tools are being developed to help undertake these tasks. One of these tools is the Ontology Lookup Service which holds 140 public bio-medical ontologies that are updat...
