Modeling sample variables with an Experimental Factor Ontology
MOTIVATION Describing biological sample variables with ontologies is complex due to the cross-domain nature of experiments. Ontologies provide annotation solutions; however, for cross-domain investigations, multiple ontologies are needed to represent the data. These are subject to rapid change, are often not interoperable and present complexities that are a barrier to biological resource users....
متن کاملBottom-up curation of terminology for experimental variables: the Ontology of Experimental Variables and Values (OoEVV)
The selection, definition and use of experimental variables is possibly the closest that a bench scientist comes to working with ontological concepts directly. When working with their own data, they understand the importance of standardizing their vocabulary, of defining exactly what they are measuring and how they measured it. Here, we describe work that empowers experimental scientists to def...
متن کاملSample Spaces, Random Variables
1 Probabilities In talking about probabilities, the fundamental object is Ω, the sample space. Points (elements) in Ω are denoted (generically) by ω. We assign probabilities to subsets of Ω. Assume for the moment that Ω is finite or countably infinite. Thus Ω could be the space of all possible outcomes when a coin is tossed three times in a row or say, the set of positive integers. A probabilit...
متن کاملTowards an Ontology for Mathematical Modeling with Application to Epidemiology
Background and purpose As many other fields of science or perhaps more than them Mathematics needs abstract models to represent its core concepts and how they are related. Being abstract by nature, one could unadvisedly suppose that the task of building those conceptual models would be easier than the average case, which is not necessarily true. Mathematical modeling is a field of applied mathe...
متن کاملThe Information Systems Modeling with an Ontology-Based ERD
Large organizations are eager to seek ways to maximize the values of the information stored across the applications, information systems and even the web. However, various systems have their own domain models for the environments and tasks. Thus, the shared domain model for the heterogeneous information systems (IS) is required. In this paper, we try to integrate the techniques of entity-relati...
