Reasoning with bio-ontologies: using relational closure rules to enable practical querying
MOTIVATION Ontologies have become indispensable in the Life Sciences for managing large amounts of knowledge. The use of logics in ontologies ranges from sound modelling to practical querying of that knowledge, thus adding a considerable value. We conceive reasoning on bio-ontologies as a semi-automated process in three steps: (i) defining a logic-based representation language; (ii) building a ...
متن کاملReasoning with Rules and Ontologies
For realizing the Semantic Web vision, extensive work is underway for getting the layers of its conceived architecture ready. Given that the Ontology Layer has reached a certain level of maturity with W3C recommendations such as RDF and the OWL Web Ontology Language, current interest focuses on the Rules Layer and its integration with the Ontology Layer. Several proposals have been made for sol...
متن کاملQuerying Ontologies in Relational Database Systems
In many areas of life science, such as biology and medicine, ontologies are nowadays commonly used to annotate objects of interest, such as biological samples, clinical pictures, or species in a standardized way. In these applications, an ontology is merely a structured vocabulary in the form of a tree or a directed acyclic graph of concepts. Typically, ontologies are stored together with the d...
متن کاملEfficient Paraconsistent Reasoning with Ontologies and Rules
Description Logic (DL) based ontologies and nonmonotonic rules provide complementary features whose combination is crucial in many applications. In hybrid knowledge bases (KBs), which combine both formalisms, for large real-world applications, often integrating knowledge originating from different sources, inconsistencies can easily occur. These commonly trivialize standard reasoning and preven...
متن کاملUsing and improving bio-ontologies stored in relational databases∗
Current persistent storage implementations of large bioontologies fall short in meeting usability and reusability requirements. Main limitations are demonstrated with two representative ontologies-stored-in-databases: the Gene Ontology and the Foundational Model of Anatomy. We discuss and propose several improvements for ontology development. Advantages of a better implementation are illustrate...
