Modeling Logical Definitions in Biomedical Ontologies by Reusing Ontology Design Patterns
Abstract
Logical definitions are addressed in biomedical ontologies such as the Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) to allow cross-species mapping by means of automated semantic reasoning. These definitions aim to associate ontological terms within an ontology to external species-neutral ontological resources. However, applying logical definitions manually in ontologies under development is a challenging issue. Thus, approaches supporting extensible ontology development and pattern-based ontology design are tackled to reuse logical definitions as Ontology Design Patterns (ODPs) and apply them in the context of the SUOG project. ODPs are reusable modeling solutions used to facilitate ontology development.
