Biomedical ontologies: a functional perspective
The information explosion in biology makes it difficult for researchers to stay abreast of current biomedical knowledge and to make sense of the massive amounts of online information. Ontologies - specifications of the entities, their attributes and relationships among the entities in a domain of discourse - are increasingly enabling biomedical researchers to accomplish these tasks. In fact, bio-ontologies are beginning to proliferate in step with accruing biological data.
