Bioinformatics as a discipline has come of age, and there are now
numerous databases and tools that are widely used by researchers in
the biomedical field. However, successful development of future
bioinformatics applications will depend on an appropriately
formalised representation of domain knowledge.
This book provides a timely and first-of-its-kind collection of
contributed chapters on anatomy ontologies. It is interdisciplinary
in its approach, bringing together relevant expertise from
computing and biomedical studies, and covering both theoretical and
applied aspects, with an emphasis on newer work relevant to the
emerging Semantic Web.
Topics and Features:
a [ Provides a comprehensive discussion of the foundations of
anatomical ontologies and the state of the art in existing
computational tools and applications
a [ Considers a number of fundamental modelling principles
a [ Includes chapters about research on algorithms to
systematically align anatomy ontologies and to mine data in the
literature, using anatomy terms
a [ Explains recent efforts to develop a common anatomy
reference ontology
a [ Discusses anatomy in the context of spatio-temporal
biomedical atlases
a [ Describes systems and tools for linking anatomy ontologies
with each other and with other on-line resources, such as the
biomedical literature
a [ Highlights the challenges of dealing with anatomy-based
information on the Semantic Web
Although primarily written for readers who will be involved in
developing the next generation of IT applications in the areas of
life sciences, biomedical sciences and health care, this unique
volume will be of interest to anyone who will furtherdevelop
anatomy ontologies, who will use them, and who will be involved in
the actual development of relevant (semantic) web applications.
