Analysis of Terminology Ontology and Infomatics Ontology: An Examplein Biomedical Informatics

Abstract

Abstract:

The study reveals the meaning of ontology in the field of biomedical informatics.One level of ontology is the knowledge of processes and entities that constitute the commonly accepted facts of the domain. The other level of ontology is the representation of information entity. The study also analyses the top level ontology of biomedical informatics, OBO Foundry Principles, BioPortal ontology platform, and proposes the research focus of biomedical informatics ontology in China.

Key words: Ontology, Biomedical informatics, BFO, OBO, BioPortal
