Ontologies have become a critical component of many applications in biomedical informatics. However, the landscape of the ontology tools today is largely fragmented, with independent tools for ontology editing, publishing, and peer review: users develop an ontology in an ontology editor, such as Protégé; and publish it on a Web server or in an ontology library, such as BioPortal, in order to share it with the community; they use the tools provided by the library or mailing lists and bug trackers to collect feedback from users. In this paper, we present a set of tools that bring the ontology editing and publishing closer together, in an integrated platform for the entire ontology lifecycle. This integration streamlines the workflow for collaborative development and increases integration between the ontologies themselves through the reuse of terms.
本体已经成为生物医学信息学中许多应用的关键组成部分。然而，如今本体工具的格局在很大程度上是分散的，有用于本体编辑、发布和同行评审的独立工具：用户在本体编辑器（如Protégé）中开发本体；然后将其发布到Web服务器或本体库（如BioPortal）上，以便与社区共享；他们使用库提供的工具或邮件列表及错误跟踪器来收集用户反馈。在本文中，我们展示了一组工具，这些工具在一个用于整个本体生命周期的集成平台中，使本体编辑和发布更为紧密地结合在一起。这种集成简化了协作开发的工作流程，并通过术语的重用增加了本体之间的集成。
