2 Ontologies are essential to make sense of biomedical data

3 A biological ontology is:  A machine interpretable representation of some aspect of biological reality eye  what kinds of things exist?  what are the relationships between these things? ommatidium sense organeye disc is_a part_of develops from

4 The Foundational Model of Anatomy

5 Knowledge workers seem trapped in a pre-industrial age  Most ontologies are  Of relatively small scale  Built by small groups working arduously in isolation  Success rests heavily on the particular talents of individual artisans, rather than on SOPs and best practices  There are few technologies available to make this process “faster, better, cheaper”

46 E-science needs technologies  To help build and extend ontologies  To locate ontologies and to relate them to one another  To visualize relationships and to aid understanding  To facilitate evaluation and annotation of ontologies

47 We need to relate ontologies to one another  We keep reinventing the wheel  We don’t even know what’s out there!  We need to make comparisons between ontologies automatically  We need to keep track of ontology history and to compare versions

48 We need to compute both similarities and differences  Similarities  Merging ontologies  Mapping ontologies  Differences  Versioning

49 Ontology engineering requires management of complexity  How can we  keep track of hundreds of relationships?  understand the implications of changes to a large ontology?  know where ontologies are underspecified? And where they are over constrained?
