Ontology-Based Visualization of Hierarchical Neuroanatomical Structures
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work presents a method for generating intuitive visualizations for high-level user queries to an hierarchical surface-based neuroanatomical atlas. We combine a spreading activation approach for computing focus and context in an ontology with a specific level-of-detail strategy for hierarchical structures. We demonstrate our method on an atlas of the bee brain.

Designing an Ontology for Knowledge Discovery in Iran’s Vaccine
Ontology is a requirement engineering product and the key to knowledge discovery. It includes the terminology to describe a set of facts, assumptions, and relations with which the detailed meanings of vocabularies among communities can be determined. This is a qualitative content analysis research. This study has made use of ontology for the first time to discover the knowledge of vaccine in Ir...
متن کاملVisualising Ontologies with AberOWL
Ontologies are formal theories that specify the kinds of entities and relations found in a domain. To quickly gain access to the content and structure of ontologies, ontology visualization techniques are commonly used. Visualization of ontologies often uses representations of hierarchical structures that are extracted from ontologies, most notably representations of the taxonomic relationships ...
متن کاملGOfox: Semantics-based simplified hierarchical classification and interactive visualization to support GO enrichment analysis
Gene Ontology (GO)-based statistical enrichment analysis is a popular approach to identify statistically enriched biological processes, molecular functions, and cellular components that are associated with a list of genes. However, such GO enrichment analysis often generates a large number of enriched GO terms that are difficult to interpret and analyze. To address this issue, we developed GOfo...
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 کاملApplication of Neuroanatomical Ontologies for Neuroimaging Data Annotation
The annotation of functional neuroimaging results for data sharing and re-use is particularly challenging, due to the diversity of terminologies of neuroanatomical structures and cortical parcellation schemes. To address this challenge, we extended the Foundational Model of Anatomy Ontology (FMA) to include cytoarchitectural, Brodmann area labels, and a morphological cortical labeling scheme (e...
