A modelling pattern for multi-track dispositions for life-science ontologies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Motivation: This paper extends Röhl & Jansen's (2011) model of dispositions by introducing a relation of parthood between dispositions to formalize multi-track dispositions. Results: We suggest axioms for parthood relations between dispositions and discuss possible applications to life sciences.

Dynamic MLC Tracking Using 4D Lung Tumor Motion Modelling and EPID Feedback
Background: Respiratory motion causes thoracic movement and reduces targeting accuracy in radiotherapy. Objective: This study proposes an approach to generate a model to track lung tumor motion by controlling dynamic multi-leaf collimators. Material and Methods: All slices which contained tumor were contoured in the 4D-CT images for...
متن کاملRepresenting dispositions
Dispositions and tendencies feature significantly in the biomedical domain and therefore in representations of knowledge of that domain. They are not only important for specific applications like an infectious disease ontology, but also as part of a general strategy for modelling knowledge about molecular interactions. But the task of representing dispositions in some formal ontological systems...
متن کاملScalable representations of diseases in biomedical ontologies
BACKGROUND The realm of pathological entities can be subdivided into pathological dispositions, pathological processes, and pathological structures. The latter are the bearer of dispositions, which can then be realized by their manifestations - pathologic processes. Despite its ontological soundness, implementing this model via purpose-oriented domain ontologies will likely require considerable...

The sharing of product and process information plays a central role in coordinating supply chains operations and is a key driver for their success. “Linked pedigrees” linked datasets, that encapsulate event based traceability information of artifacts as they move along the supply chain, provide a scalable mechanism to record and facilitate the sharing of track and trace knowledge among supply c...
متن کاملSubstance concentrations as conditions for the realization of dispositions
Ontologies aim to represent what is general, by means of universal statements. In contrast, dispositional predications capture knowledge about what is likely to happen if a certain set of circumstances obtain, which is crucial in investigative research such as in drug discovery and systems biology, where entities which are constitutionally dissimilar can nevertheless have similar behavior in a ...
