Advancing translational research with the Semantic Web (2007, background): “Some examples of such structure are the well defined meaning of the hierarchical subclass relations, the use of properties defined by the ontology in the construction of definitions within the ontology, and a carefully designed modularization [36].”
The Protégé OWL Plugin: An Open Development Environment for Semantic Web Applications (2004, background): “, [13, 15]), there are hardly any comprehensive ontology development methods in routine use.”
OWL Pizzas: Practical Experience of Teaching OWL-DL: Common Errors & Common Patterns (2004, background): “The examples to this point have dealt with what various authors call “first class entities”, “independent entities”, or “sortals” [4, 16], and what we prefer to call “Self-Standing entities” [10] and the relations between them.”
Individuals, Universals, Collections: On the Foundational Relations of Ontology (2004, background): “For example, [ 8 ] proposes to have two separate sub-ontologies: one of body-substance universals (such as protein) distinguished according to structure and a second of body-substance universals (such as hormone) distinguished according to function.”
Uberon, an integrative multi-species anatomy ontology (2012, methodology): “We consider definitions to be of central importance in all ontologies; textual definitions allow human annotators to reliably disambiguate similar terms, and computable definitions allow the use of automated methods to assist in ontology construction and data integration [39].”
Ontological realism: A methodology for coordinated evolution of scientific ontologies (2010, unknown): “Inspired in part by (Rector, 2003), we advocate the following: Principle of asserted single inheritance.”
