Structuring and extracting knowledge for the support of hypothesis generation in molecular biology (2009, unknown): “Many ontologies have been created and many types of application have become possible [ 3 ], with the life sciences providing a key motivation of addressing the information management problem that arises from high throughput data collection [4,5].”
Biomedical Ontologies in Action: Role in Knowledge Management, Data Integration and Decision Support (2008, methodology): “In contrast, one review provides a functional perspective on biomedical ontologies [15].”
From brain maps to cognitive ontologies: informatics and the search for mental structure (2015, background): “We review below several important benefits (for others, see Bard & Rhee 2004, Bodenreider & Stevens 2006, Rubin et al. 2008).”
Controlled vocabularies and semantics in systems biology (2011, background): “Ontologies are formal representations of knowledge with deﬁnitions of concepts, their attributes and relations between them expressed in terms of axioms in a well-deﬁned logic (Rubin et al , 2008).”
