We discuss the applicability of using the OBI assay paradigm for representing patient questionnaires, neuropsychological tests, and neurological exams, as well to annotate data generated from these assessments. We conclude that the specification for OBI ‘assay’ employs a broad enough notion of evaluation to allow for these uses. However, it would be preferable to introduce subclasses of OBI ‘pl...

The Ontology for Biomedical Investigations (OBI), written in OWL DL, is being developed by a large consortium seeking to provide a crossdomain, shared framework for representing investigations in the biological and biomedical sciences. In this paper we report our experiences and describe our development process as it pertains to OWL, which includes a number of elements that might inform tool de...

The current investigations suggest the segregation of Jurinea cartilaginea from Jurinea, and its placement among Centaureinae. Molecular studies, based on the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacers (nrITS), chromosome number data and pollen morphology, support the morphological results. Based on these results, J. cartilaginea is related to and, therefore, transferred to the genus Karvan...

The NeuroPsychological Testing Ontology provides a set of classes for the representation and annotation of neuropsychological tests and the associated data. These classes are intended to enable the integra-­‐ tion of results from a variety of neuropsychological tests that as...
