Synchronization through reasoning • Example • HAO:pleurite = INSECT:pleurite and part_of some Hymenopteran • HAO:pleurite = INSECT:pleurite and part_of some Hymenopteran • INSECT:pleuriteSubClassOfINSECT:sclerite • • HAO:pleuriteSubClassOfHAO:sclerite • Approach is enhanced by • Logical definitions and other logical axioms in source ontologies • Taxonomic knowledge
Adding taxonomic knowledge to multi-species ontologies • KusnierczykJBI 2008 • Taxonomy-based partitioning of the Gene Ontology • DeeganBMC Bioinformatics 2010 • Added the following links to GO: • only_in_taxon : part_of only <T> • never_in_taxon : part_of only not <T> • Can be used in any multi-species ontology • Phenoscape • Annotating variability across taxa
