to data like this?
Answer
Tag the data with meaningful labels which together form an ontology
~ Semantic enhancement
An ontology is a controlled structured vocabulary to support annotation of data
9
QuestionsHow to build an ontology?
How to bring it about that all scientists in each domain use the same ontology to annotate their data?
How to bring it about that scientists in neighboring domains use ontologies that are interoperable?
10
By far the most successful: GO (Gene Ontology)
11
GO provides a controlled vocabulary of terms for use in annotating (describing, tagging) data
• multi-species, multi-disciplinary, open source
• built by biologists, maintained and improved by biologists
• contributes to the cumulativity of scientific results obtained by distinct research communities
12
International System of Units (SI)
13
Gene products involved in cardiac muscle development in humans
14
Prerequisites for ontology success
• Aggressive use in tagging data across multiple communities
• Feedback cycle between ontology editors and ontology users to ensure continuous update
• Logically and biologically coherent definitions – logical = to allow computational reasoning and
quality assurance– biological = to ensure consistency between
ontologies
15
GO is amazingly successful
but it covers only generic biological entities of three sorts:
– cellular components– molecular functions– biological processes
and it does not provide representations of diseases, symptoms, anatomy, pathways, experiments …
16
Ontology success stories, and some reasons for failure

Definition: Reaching a decision through the application of an algorithm designed to weigh the different factors involved.
Confuses an algorithm with an act of reaching a decision
Defines ‘algorithm’ as a special kind of application of an algorithm. (This is worse than circular.)
John Fox (Director, OpenClinical)
As a user and teacher of ontological methods in medicine and engineering I have for years warned my students that the design of domain ontologies is a black art with no theoretical foundations and few practical principles.

John Fox, againAs a user and teacher of ontological methods in medicine and engineering I have for years warned my students that the design of domain ontologies is a black art with no theoretical foundations and few practical principles. … I now have a much more positive story for my students. … In the journey from black art to a truly scientific theory for ontology design this book is an important milestone.

reasoning over Big Data is:use the framework of modular,

creating families of purpose-specific application ontologies in ever widening circles (scalability)

Problems with:
Denys-Drash syndrome is_a rare non-neoplastic disorder
1. Denys-Drash syndrome involves nephroblastoma and is therefore neoplastic
2. X is_a rare Y does not track biology
What are the criteria of success for ontologies in supporting reasoning
over Big Data?
correct: Beta cell is_a cellincorrect: rare disease is_a disease
If the ontology hierarchy is to support biologically useful reasoning it must track biology
