Evolution of a Foundational Model of Physiology: Symbolic Representation for Functional Bioinformatics
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the need for a Foundational Model of Physiology (FMP) as a reference ontology for "functional bioinformatics". The FMP is intended to support symbolic lookup, logical inference and mathematical analysis by integrating descriptive, qualitative and quantitative functional knowledge. The FMP will serve as a symbolic representation of biological functions initially pertaining to human physiology and ultimately extensible to other species. We describe the evolving architecture of the FMP, which is based on the ontological principles of the BioD biological description language and the Foundational Model of Anatomy (FMA).

Decision-tree algorithms provide one of the most popular methodologies for symbolic knowledge acquisition. The resulting knowledge, a symbolic decision tree along with a simple inference mechanism, has been praised for comprehensibility. The most comprehensible decision trees have been designed for perfect symbolic data. Classical crisp decision trees (DT) are widely applied to classification t...

Introduction: The term dynamic assessment (DA) refers to an assessment, by an active teaching process, of a child's perception, learning, thinking, and problem solving. The process is aimed at modifying an individual's cognitive functioning and observing subsequent changes in learning and problem-solving patterns within the testing situation. DA has been advocated as an alternative and/or sup...

The Foundational Model of Anatomy (FMA) represents the result of manual and disciplined modeling of the structural organization of the human body. It is a tremendous resource in bioinformatics that facilitates sharing of information among applications that use anatomy knowledge. The FMA was developed in Protégé and the Protégé frames language is the canonical representation language for the FMA...

Satellite Image Time Series (SITS) are an important source of information for studying land occupation and its evolution. Indeed, the very large volumes of digital data stored, usually are not ready to a direct analysis. In order to both reduce the dimensionality and information extraction, time series data mining generally gives rise to change of time series representation. In an objective of ...
متن کاملSymbolic modeling of structural relationships in the Foundational Model of Anatomy
The need for a sharable resource that can provide deep anatomical knowledge and support inference for biomedical applications has recently been the driving force in the creation of biomedical ontologies. Previous attempts at the symbolic representation of anatomical relationships necessary for such ontologies have been largely limited to general partonomy and class subsumption. We propose an on...
