Background Biomedical ontologies contain a wealth of metadata that constitutes a
fundamental infrastructural resource for text mining. For several reasons, redundancies exist …

The increasing interest in biomedical ontologies has provoked the development of a
significant number of ontologies, and many more are expected to be produced in the near …

Hundreds of biomedical ontologies have been produced, with many of the significant, widely
used ones being developed in collaborative efforts and following a set of construction …

Objective The main goal of this work is to measure how lexical regularities in biomedical
ontology labels can be used for the automatic creation of formal relationships between …

The increasing interest of the biomedical community in ontologies can be exemplified by the
availability of hundreds of biomedical ontologies and controlled vocabularies, and by the …

Background Ontologies are widely used across biology and biomedicine for the annotation
of databases. Ontology development is often a manual, time-consuming, and expensive …

The biomedical community has developed many ontologies in the last years, which may
follow a set of community accepted principles for ontology development such as the ones …

An increasing interest in biomedical ontologies has provoked the development of a
significant number of ontologies. Many such ontologies have not been created by computer …
