TLDR
Populous as mentioned in this paper is a tool for gathering content with which to populate an ontology, but without having to tackle the underlying ontological representation, it separates knowledge gathering from the conceptualisation and also separates the user from the standard ontology authoring environments.Abstract:
We present Populous, a tool for gathering content with which to populate anontology. Domain experts need to add content, that is often repetitive in itsform, but without having to tackle the underlying ontological representation.Populous presents users with a table based form in which columns areconstrained to take values from particular ontologies; the user can select aconcept from an ontology via its meaningful label to give a value for a givenentity attribute. Populated tables are mapped to patterns that can then be usedto automatically generate the ontology's content. Populous's contribution is inthe knowledge gathering stage of ontology development. It separates knowledgegathering from the conceptualisation and also separates the user from thestandard ontology authoring environments. As a result, Populous can allowknowledge to be gathered in a straight-forward manner that can then be used todo mass production of ontology content.read more

Generation of open biomedical datasets through ontology-driven transformation and integration processes
María del Carmen Legaz-García,José Antonio Miñarro-Giménez,Marcos Menárguez-Tortosa,Jesualdo Tomás Fernández-Breis +3 more
TL;DR: SWIT is able to apply the Linked Open Data principles in the generation of the datasets, so allowing for linking their content to external repositories and creating linked open datasets.

Inspecting regularities in ontology design using clustering
TL;DR: A novel application of clustering analysis to identify regularities in the usage of entities in axioms within an ontology will help to identify parts of the schemas and guidelines upon which ontologies are often built, especially in the absence of explicit documentation.

Analysing Syntactic Regularities and Irregularities in SNOMED-CT
TL;DR: It is argued that RIO is a tool to find and report such matches and mismatches, for evaluations by the domain experts, and it is demonstrated that standard clustering techniques from machine learning can offer a tool in the drive for quality assurance in ontologies.
Dissertation
The consistent representation of scientific knowledge : investigations into the ontology of karyotypes and mitochondria
TL;DR: This thesis explores the use of a pattern-driven and programmatic approach to bio-medical ontology engineering, driven by the construction of two light-weight ontologies, The Mitochondrial Disease Ontology and The Karyotype Ontology.

The Karyotype Ontology: a computational representation for human cytogenetic patterns
TL;DR: The karyotype ontology as discussed by the authors describes the human chromosome complement as determined cytogenetically, and is designed as an initial step toward the goal of replacing the current system which is based on semantically meaningful strings.

Hill,Laurie Issel-Tarver,Andrew Kasarskis,Suzanna E. Lewis,John C. Matese,Joel E. Richardson,M. Ringwald,Gerald M. Rubin,Gavin Sherlock +19 more
TL;DR: The goal of the Gene Ontology Consortium is to produce a dynamic, controlled vocabulary that can be applied to all eukaryotes even as knowledge of gene and protein roles in cells is accumulating and changing.

Leontis,Philippe Rocca-Serra,Alan Ruttenberg,Susanna-Assunta Sansone,Richard H. Scheuermann,Nigam H. Shah,Patricia L. Whetzel,Suzanna E. Lewis +17 more
TL;DR: This work describes the OBO Foundry initiative and provides guidelines for those who might wish to become involved and describes an expanding family of ontologies designed to be interoperable and logically well formed and to incorporate accurate representations of biological reality.

Ontology design patterns for semantic web content
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a framework for introducing design patterns that facilitate or improve the techniques used during ontology lifecycle, and some distinctions are drawn between kinds of ontology design patterns.
