چکیده
Researchers in various areas, e.g. medicine, agriculture and environmental sciences, use biomedical data sources and tools to answer different research questions or to solve various tasks, for instance, in drug discovery or in research on the influence of environmental factors on human health and diseases. Due to the recent explosion of the amount of on-line accessible data and tools, finding the relevant sources and retrieving the relevant information is not an easy task. Further, often information from different sources needs to be integrated. The vision of a Semantic Web for life sciences alleviates these difficulties [Lam05]. A key technology for the Semantic Web are ontologies. Ontologies define the basic terms and relations comprising the vocabulary of a topic area, as well as the rules for combining terms and relations to define extensions to the vocabulary. They are used for communication between people and organizations by providing a common terminology over a domain. They provide the basis for interoperability between systems. They can be used for making the content in information sources explicit and serve as an index to a repository of information. Further, they can also be used as a basis for integration of information sources and as a query model for information sources. An overview of the use of ontologies and ontology tools in bioinformatics can be found in the book chapters [Lam04, LTJS07]. The Semantic Web can be seen as an extension of the current Web in which information is given a well-defined meaning by annotating Web content with ontology terms. We have looked at a number of issues in relation to a Semantic Web for bioinformatics, mainly within the BioTRIFU and SAMBO, KitAMO and
