FLOPO - An Ontology for the Integration of Trait Data from Digitized Floras and Plant Image Collections

چکیده
Knowledge about organismic traits is useful for many different studies in environmental sciences. For example, traits can be used to study the functional diversity of plant communities and competition between species. Furthermore traits of underutilized plants are an important resource for agricultural usage and phytomedical applications. There are large biodiversity data collections which are a potentially rich source of such plant trait data:

The flora phenotype ontology (FLOPO): tool for integrating morphological traits and phenotypes of vascular plants
BACKGROUND The systematic analysis of a large number of comparable plant trait data can support investigations into phylogenetics and ecological adaptation, with broad applications in evolutionary biology, agriculture, conservation, and the functioning of ecosystems. Floras, i.e., books collecting the information on all known plant species found within a region, are a potentially rich source of...
متن کاملTaxon and trait recognition from digitized herbarium specimens using deep convolutional neural networks
Herbaria worldwide are housing a treasure of 100s of millions of herbarium specimens, which are increasingly being digitized in recent years and thereby made more easily accessible to the scientific community. At the same time, deep learning algorithms are rapidly improving pattern recognition from images and these techniques are more and more being applied to biological objects. We are using d...
متن کاملIdentification and prioritization genes related to Hypercholesterolemia QTLs using gene ontology and protein interaction networks
Gene identification represents the first step to a better understanding of the physiological role of the underlying protein and disease pathways, which in turn serves as a starting point for developing therapeutic interventions. Familial hypercholesterolemia is a hereditary metabolic disorder characterized by high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. Hypercholesterolemia is a quantitativ...
متن کاملContext-aware Modeling for Spatio-temporal Data Transmitted from a Wireless Body Sensor Network
Context-aware systems must be interoperable and work across different platforms at any time and in any place. Context data collected from wireless body area networks (WBAN) may be heterogeneous and imperfect, which makes their design and implementation difficult. In this research, we introduce a model which takes the dynamic nature of a context-aware system into consideration. This model is con...
متن کاملPublic Transport Ontology for Passenger Information Retrieval
Passenger information aims at improving the user-friendliness of public transport systems while influencing passenger route choices to satisfy transit user’s travel requirements. The integration of transit information from multiple agencies is a major challenge in implementation of multi-modal passenger information systems. The problem of information sharing is further compounded by the multi-l...
