TL;DR: The authors propose that terminologies are ideal for meeting today's information requirements and that a dynamic terminology service is the appropriate architectural approach, and present the requirements of a terminology server and the implementation and practical use of one developed by the authors that uses a description logic, GRAIL, to represent the terms.

TL;DR: An approach to representing and building ontologies advocated by the Bioinformatics and Medical Informatics groups at the University of Manchester is described, that uses DAML + OIL as the basis for moving the Gene Ontology from its current hand-crafted, form to one that uses logical descriptions of a concept’s properties to deliver a more complete version of the ontology.

TL;DR: Research Objects as discussed by the authors are portable units that enable the sharing, preservation, interpretation and reuse of research investigation results and provide a single entry point to access information about the hypothesis investigated, the datasets used, the experiments carried out, the results of the experiments, the people involved in the research, etc.

TL;DR: This paper describes an information retrieval system—GUIDANCE1—that is accessible and usable by people who are not experts in computing but are experts in their own domain and has a system of semantic sanctions to control the creation of implied concepts.

TL;DR: This paper presents a bioinformatics ontology building case study using OilEd to highlight the features of the combination of a frame representation and an expressive description logic.
