Role and application of Ontology Design Patterns in bio-o...
Egaña Aranguren, Mikel
Knowledge Representation (KR) languages such as OWL (Web Ontology Language), offer the possibility of computationally exploiting biological knowledge, by codifying it in the axioms of bio-ontologies. Bio-ontologies are widely used in life sciences for knowledge management. Knowledge is, however, often represented in bio-ontologies without following rigorous principles of modelling and the resulting bio-ontologies are axiomatically lean. Theref...
