Ontology-based Technologies - Technology Transfer from Bioinformatics?
نویسنده
چکیده
I. INTRODUCTION In the call for paper for OIC 2008 the description of the conference contains the following optimistic outlook: New approaches are required to enable greater flexibility , precision, timeliness and automation of analysis in response to rapidly evolving threats. Ontology-based technology as applied in the areas such as bioinformatics has demonstrated the possibility of gains along all of these dimensions. The time is ripe to extend these gains to other spheres. Ontology-based technologies clearly offer great potential for the intelligence community. In this paper I will discuss whether the intelligence community could adopt technologies that have been proven successful in bioinformatics. For this purpose we have to consider how biologists apply these technologies and how their needs differ from the needs of the intelligence community.

This paper is an attempt to develop a new ontology for knowledge management (KM) technologies, determining the relationships between these technologies and classification of them. The study applies NOY methodology. Protégé software and OWL language are used for building the ontology. The presented ontology is evaluated with abbreviation and consistency criteria and knowledge retrieval of KM tec...
متن کاملSemantic Integration of the Genome Annotations
Integration of the genome annotations is gaining more importance to interpret the biological meanings of large scale sequence data produced by the new sequencing technologies. Because existing annotations from public databases and literatures varies in terms of both categories and species, the Semantic Web technology has a great advantage for accumulating those wideranging information without h...

Bioinformatics and genomics cover a wide range of different data formats (i.e. annotations, pathways, structures, sequences) derived from experimental and in-silico biological analysis which are stored, used, and manipulated by scientists and machines. The volume of this data is huge and usually distributed in different locations, and often frequently being updated. FungalWeb is the first proje...
متن کاملSemantically linking web pages to web services in Bioinformatics
A key application area of semantic technologies is the fast-developing field of bioinformatics. Sealife is a project within this field with the aim of creating semanticsbased web browsing capabilities for the life sciences. This includes meaningfully linking significant terms from the text of a web page to executable web services. This requires the semantic mark-up of biological terms, linking ...
