The OWL of Biomedical Investigations
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Ontology for Biomedical Investigations (OBI), written in OWL DL, is being developed by a large consortium seeking to provide a crossdomain, shared framework for representing investigations in the biological and biomedical sciences. In this paper we report our experiences and describe our development process as it pertains to OWL, which includes a number of elements that might inform tool developers as well as suggest general development patterns. Finally, we review where improvements to OWL and OWL related tools might be beneficial.

Ontorat: Automatic generation and editing of ontology terms
The web-based Ontorat (http://ontorat.hegroup.org/) program has been developed to automatically generate and edit ontology terms from a spreadsheet format input (Excel or tab-delimited file) based on an ontology design pattern (ODP). The Ontorat web interface is intuitive and suitable for users with basic background in Manchester ontology format scripting, the same language used in the Protégé ...
متن کاملThe NCBO OBOF to OWL Mapping
Two of the most significant formats for biomedical ontologies are the Open Biomedical Ontologies Format (OBOF) and the Web Ontology Language (OWL). To make it possible to translate ontologies between these two representation formats, the National Center for Biomedical Ontology (NCBO) has developed a mapping between the OBOF and OWL formats as well as inter-conversion software. The goal was to a...

MOTIVATION To clarify the semantics, and take advantage of tools and algorithms developed for the Semantic Web, a mapping from the Open Biomedical Ontologies (OBO) format to the Web Ontology Language (OWL) has been established. We present an ontology editor that allows end users to work directly with this OWL representation of OBO format ontologies. AVAILABILITY http://www.aiai.ed.ac.uk/proje...

UNLABELLED The Open Biomedical Ontologies (OBO) format from the GO consortium is a very successful format for biomedical ontologies, including the Gene Ontology. But it lacks formal computational definitions for its constructs and tools, like DL reasoners, to facilitate ontology development/maintenance. We describe the OBO Converter, a Java tool to convert files from OBO format to Web Ontology ...
متن کاملMapping between the OBO and OWL ontology languages
BACKGROUND Ontologies are commonly used in biomedicine to organize concepts to describe domains such as anatomies, environments, experiment, taxonomies etc. NCBO BioPortal currently hosts about 180 different biomedical ontologies. These ontologies have been mainly expressed in either the Open Biomedical Ontology (OBO) format or the Web Ontology Language (OWL). OBO emerged from the Gene Ontology...
