Literature-driven, Ontology-centric Knowledge Navigation for Lipidomics
نویسندگان
چکیده
As the semantic web vision continues to proliferate a gap still remains in the full scale adoption of such technologies. The exact reasons for this continue to be the subject of ongoing debate, however, it is likely the emergence of reproducible infrastructure and deployments will expedite its adoption. We illustrate the recognizable added value to life science researchers gained through the convergence of existing and customized semantic web technologies (content acquisition pipelines supplying legacy unstructured texts, natural language processing, OWL-DL ontology development and instantiation, reasoning over A-boxes using a visual query tool). The resulting platform allows lipidomic researchers to rapidly navigate large volumes of full-text scientific documents according to recognizable lipid nomenclature, hierarchies and classifications. Specifically we have enabled searches for sentences describing lipidprotein and lipid-disease interactions.

Ontology-centric integration and navigation of the dengue literature
Uninhibited access to the unstructured information distributed across the web and in scientific literature databases continues to be beyond the reach of scientists and health professionals. To address this challenge we have developed a literature driven, ontology-centric navigation infrastructure consisting of a content acquisition engine, a domain-specific ontology (in OWL-DL) and an ontology ...
متن کاملUser-centric Knowledge Extraction and Quality Assurance
An ontology is a machine readable knowledge collection. There is an abundance of information available for human consumption. Thus, large general knowledge ontologies are typically generated tapping into this information source using imperfect automatic extraction approaches that translate human readable text into machine readable semantic knowledge. This thesis provides methods for user-driven...
متن کاملKnowledge Media Institute On the integration of technologies for capturing and navigating knowledge with ontology-driven services
Nowadays, many distinct communities are researching on technologies for knowledge capturing, modelling, and navigation. Moreover, advances in Internet technology makes it possible to perform most of these tasks on heterogeneous and distributed environments such as the Web. These advances though, have raise the need for knowledge services to accommodate the ever increasing number of Web users. T...
متن کاملOntology evolution: a process-centric survey
Ontology evolution aims at maintaining an ontology up to date with respect to changes in the domain that it models or novel requirements of information systems that it enables. The recent industrial adoption of Semantic Web techniques, which rely on ontologies, has led to the increased importance of the ontology evolution research. Typical approaches to ontology evolution are designed as multip...
متن کاملSemantic Linking and Querying of Natural Food, Chemicals and Diseases
The biological community requires more sophisticated methods to store, integrate and query their knowledge. The semantic Web technology enables to represent, share and discover heterogeneous data through formal ontologies. Semantic Web technologies also allow to link information thus moving from document centric idea of current Web to more fine grained semantic structures. The study is made on ...
