Building Ontologies with Basic Formal Ontology
Langue : Anglais
Auteurs : Arp Robert, Smith Barry, Spear Andrew D.
In the era of “big
data,” science is increasingly information driven, and the potential for
computers to store, manage, and integrate massive amounts of data has
given rise to such new disciplinary fields as biomedical informatics.
Applied ontology offers a strategy for the organization of scientific
information in computer-tractable form, drawing on concepts not only from
computer and information science but also from linguistics, logic, and
philosophy. This book provides an introduction to the field of applied
ontology that is of particular relevance to biomedicine, covering
theoretical components of ontologies, best practices for ontology design,
and examples of biomedical ontologies in use.
After defining an ontology as a representation of the types of entities in a given domain, the book distinguishes between different kinds of ontologies and taxonomies, and shows how applied ontology draws on more traditional ideas from metaphysics. It presents the core features of the Basic Formal Ontology (BFO), now used by over one hundred ontology projects around the world, and offers examples of domain ontologies that utilize BFO. The book also describes Web Ontology Language (OWL), a common framework for Semantic Web technologies. Throughout, the book provides concrete recommendations for the design and construction of domain ontologies.
