This paper presents a tool, TyDI, and methods experimented in the building of a termino-ontology, i.e. a lexicalized ontology aimed at fine-grained indexation for semantic search applications. TyDI provides facilities for knowledge engineers and domain experts to efficiently collaborate to validate, organize and conceptualize corpus extracted terms. A use case on biotechnology patent search dem...

BACKGROUND The benefits of genomics and biotechnology are concentrated primarily in the industrialized world, while their potential to combat neglected diseases in the developing world has been largely untapped. Without building developing world biotechnology capacity to address local health needs, this disparity will only intensify. To assess the potential of genomics to address health needs i...

Abstract Background and scope: The current situation in Iran suggests a good basis for advancement in biotechnology industries because the patents for many hi-tech medicines registered in developed countries are ending. Biosimilar and technology-oriented companies without patents will have the opportunity to enter the biosimilar market and move toward innovative initiatives. The present researc...

The increasing and rapid development in technologies, infrastructures, computational power, data availability information flow has enabled scientific advances. These entail transdisciplinary collaborations that maximize sharing of knowledge and, consequently, results, possible technology transfer. However, emerging fields it is sometimes difficult to provide all necessary expertise within exist...

Fortunately, awareness of how ancestral genetics might contribute to risk of disease and drug response in people has risen over the last several years. Studies that look directly at the problem are on the rapid rise, and this increased interest has biotechnology companies lowering the cost of tests that determine genetic ancestry, thanks to a little competition. However, experts have yet to dec...

Conversion of scientific achievements to market a product is a key issue and the best description of significance of science for society. In the case of experts in the natural sciences in Poland, we observe a high intellectual potential of researchers and several scientific discoveries. However, Polish inventions are very rarely available on the market and the number of national and internation...

The rapid evolution of the biotechnology industry in the last two decades is associated with hopes and fears regarding its impact on health and environment. In the face of a new and controversial technology, such as genetic engineering, public policy is confronted with different worldviews and scientific uncertainty. An appropriate regulatory system must consider scientific expertise regarding ...

Due to the importance of the growth of biotechnology in Taiwan, the question of how the operation performance of the industry can be upgraded to sustain its competitive advantages has become an important question for Taiwanese biotechnology insiders. Recently, a growing number of organizations have implemented TQM in order to give them a competitive advantage [Chan, T. H., & Quazi, H. A. (2002)...
