Evaluation of ontology development tools for bioinformatics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ontologies are being used nowadays in many areas, including bioinformatics. To assist users in developing and maintaining ontologies a number of tools have been developed. In this paper we compare four such tools, Protégé-2000, Chimaera, DAG-Edit and OilEd. As test ontologies we have used ontologies from the Gene Ontology Consortium. No system is preferred in all situations, but each system has its own strengths and weaknesses.

Evaluation of Ontology Merging Tools in Bioinformatics
Ontologies are being used nowadays in many areas, including bioinformatics. One of the issues in ontology research is the aligning and merging of ontologies. Tools have been developed for ontology merging, but they have not been evaluated for their use in bioinformatics. In this paper we evaluate two of the most well-known ontology merging tools with a bioinformatics perspective. As test ontolo...
متن کاملInformation-theoretic evaluation of predicted ontological annotations
MOTIVATION The development of effective methods for the prediction of ontological annotations is an important goal in computational biology, with protein function prediction and disease gene prioritization gaining wide recognition. Although various algorithms have been proposed for these tasks, evaluating their performance is difficult owing to problems caused both by the structure of biomedica...
متن کاملDesigning 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 کاملOBO to OWL: a protégé OWL tab to read/save OBO ontologies
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 کاملSupporting Collaborative Ontology Development in Protégé
Ontologies are becoming so large in their coverage that no single person or a small group of people can develop them effectively and ontology development becomes a community-based enterprise. In this paper, we discuss requirements for supporting collaborative ontology development and present Collaborative Protégé—a tool that supports many of these requirements, such as discussions integrated wi...
