Formal Ontologies and Uncertainty. In Geographical Knowledge

TeMA: Journal of Land Use, Mobility and Environment, 2014
Formal ontologies have proved to be a very useful tool to manage interoperability among data, systems and knowledge. In this paper we will show how formal ontologies can evolve from a crisp, deterministic framework (ontologies of hard knowledge) to new ...

Matching disease and phenotype ontologies in the ontology alignment evaluation initiative

Journal of Biomedical Semantics, 2017
Background The disease and phenotype track was designed to evaluate the relative performance of ontology matching systems that generate mappings between source ontologies.

Semantic-Driven e-Government: Application of Uschold and King Ontology Building Methodology for Semantic Ontology Models Development [PDF]

International Journal of Web & Semantic Technology (IJWesT) Vol. 2, No. 4, October 2011, 1-20, 2011
Electronic government (e-government) has been one of the most active areas of ontology development during the past six years. In e-government, ontologies are being used to describe and specify e-government services (e-services) because they enable easy composition, matching, mapping and merging of various e-government services.

The Plant Ontology™ Consortium and Plant Ontologies [PDF]

Comparative and Functional Genomics, 2002
AbstractThe goal of the Plant Ontology™ Consortium is to produce structured controlled vocabularies, arranged in ontologies, that can be applied to plant‐based database information even as knowledge of the biology of the relevant plant taxa (e.g. development, anatomy, morphology, genomics, proteomics) is accumulating and changing.

miRNA‐29 regulates epidermal and mesenchymal functions in skin repair

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
miRNA‐29 inhibits cell‐to‐cell and cell‐to‐matrix adhesion by silencing mRNA targets. Adhesion is controlled by complex interactions between many types of molecules coded by mRNAs. This is crucial for keeping together the layers of the skin and for regenerating the skin after wounding.

Transforming Geospatial Ontologies by Homomorphisms [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
In this paper, we study the geospatial ontologies that we are interested in together as a geospatial ontology system, consisting of a set of the geospatial ontologies and a set of geospatial ontology operations, without any internal details of the geospatial ontologies and their operations being needed, algebraically.

STAT3 expression is reduced in cardiac pericytes in HFpEF and its loss reduces cellular adhesion and induces pericyte senescence

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) accounts for half of the heart failure cases. It is characterised by microvascular dysfunction, associated with reduced pericyte coverage and diminished STAT3 expression in pericytes. Loss of STAT3 impairs pericyte adhesion, promotes senescence, and activates a pro‐fibrotic gene program.

Ontology

, 2021
This chapter addresses ontology, which is the branch of philosophy concerned with the nature of being. As a branch of metaphysics, ontology is mainly concerned with the modes of existence of different entities (tangible and intangible). Every subdiscipline in the social sciences relies on an ontology that defines which elements really matter when it ...

Ontologies for Bioinformatics

Bioinformatics and Biology Insights, 2008
The past twenty years have witnessed an explosion of biological data in diverse database formats governed by heterogeneous infrastructures. Not only are semantics (attribute terms) different in meaning across databases, but their organization varies widely.
