The representation of multiple relations is one of the main criteria of ontologies. In formalizing both ontologies and terminologies in biomedicine relations are used to code axioms for the classes of the ontology. However, a huge number of relations represented in medical ontologies and terminologies are derived from language and formal definition is omitted. We present a strategy based on an architectural approach to facility formal analysis of relations for use in ontology systems in biomedicine and in general.
多重关系的表示是本体的主要标准之一。在生物医学中对本体和术语进行形式化时，关系被用于为本体的类编码公理。然而，医学本体和术语中所表示的大量关系源自语言，形式定义被省略了。我们提出一种基于架构方法的策略，以便对关系进行形式分析，供生物医学及一般领域的本体系统使用。
