Converting OBR-scolio ontology in OWL DL
نویسندگان
چکیده
We developed the OBR-Scolio ontology that models scoliosis as pathological state of spine using the method of extracting from the FMA reference ontology in anatomical domain and the principal ontology framework of the OBR reference ontology, which is spread over anatomy, physiology and pathology domains. Following the FMA modeling framework, OBR-Scolio ontology initially is created in Protégé using its frame based representation. In order to enable more powerful reasoning support, ontology visualization, and more precise concepts’ definition and description, we converted OBR-Scolio in OWL DL language, due to its higher expressiveness. The paper addresses and discusses the key conversion principles, as well as our experience in such conversion, and the results obtained from Racer reasoner.

Integrating Biomedical Ontologies – Obr-scolio Ontology
This paper analyses a broad scope of research papers dealing with the process of integrating biomedical ontology with the FMA reference ontology. Namely, we want to investigate the capability of this process appliance in development of the OBR-Scolio application ontology for the pathology domain of spine, rather the scoliosis domen. Such ontology is one of the many objectives in the realization...
متن کاملChallenges in Converting Frame-Based Ontology into OWL: the Foundational Model of Anatomy Case-Study
A description logics representation of the Foundational Model of Anatomy (FMA) in the Web Ontology Language (OWL-DL) would allow developers to combine it with other OWL ontologies, and would provide the benefit of being able to access generic reasoning tools. However, the FMA is currently represented in a frame language. The differences between description logics and frames are not only syntact...
متن کاملOwlifier: Creating OWL-DL ontologies from simple spreadsheet-based knowledge descriptions
Discovery and integration of data is important in many ecological studies, especially those that concern broad-scale ecological questions. Data discovery and integration is often a difficult and time-consuming task for researchers, which is due in part to the use of informal, ambiguous, and sometimes inconsistent terms for describing data content. Ontologies offer a solution to this problem by ...
متن کاملWSML Deliverable D 20 . 1 v 0 . 2 OWL −
This deliverable presents restricted variants of the OWL Lite, DL and Full species of the OWL ontology language, called OWL Lite−, OWL DL− and OWL Full−, respectively. OWL Lite− and OWL DL− are strict subsets of OWL Lite and OWL DL. They are limited in such a way that there exists a translation from both languages directly into the deductive database language Datalog. Thus, any OWL Lite− or OWL...
متن کاملChapter 6 AN OWL-DL IMPLEMENTATION OF GOLD An Ontology for the Semantic Web
An OWL-DL implementation of the General Ontology for Linguistic Description (GOLD) is presented with relevant examples of axioms given throughout. As background, an introduction to Description Logic is presented using examples from linguistics and with particular attention to SHOIN (D), the logic which most closely relates to OWL-DL. The types of axioms used to develop an ontology in OWL-DL are...
