Here, we describe the application of expressive features in the design of an ontology of basic relations and how, in combination with an upper level ontology, they can be used to guide the formulation of life science knowledge. We report on our experiences to enhance existing ontologies so as to facilitate knowledge representation and question answering. Finally, we identify some outstanding challenges towards building an ontology-based semantic web.} topic = {OWL Application, Life Science Ontology, OWL Requirement, Ontology Construction} }

notes by User:Li

  • experiences using OWL for domain ontology (Life science).
    • Basic Relation Ontology
  • used features: subclass; property; cardinality; disjoint; union
  • wanted features:
    • version
    • n-ary data predicates
    • description graph
