Many biomedical ontologies use OBO or OWL as knowledge representation language. The rapid increase of such ontologies calls for adequate tools to facilitate their use. In particular, there is a pressing need to programmatically deal with such ontologies in many applications, including data integration, text mining, as well as semantic applications supporting translational research.
We present an Application Programming Interface (API) called ONTO-PERL. This API significantly extends the repertoire of available tools supporting the development and analysis of bio-ontologies.
The source code code as well as sample usage scripts can be found at: http://search.cpan.org/dist/ONTO-PERL/
许多生物医学本体使用OBO或OWL作为知识表示语言。此类本体的快速增长需要适当的工具来促进其使用。特别是,在许多应用中,包括数据集成、文本挖掘以及支持转化研究的语义应用中,迫切需要以编程方式处理此类本体。
我们提出了一个名为ONTO-PERL的应用程序编程接口(API)。该API显著扩展了支持生物本体开发和分析的可用工具的范围。
