Ontology Defined (cont.) Google Definitions on the web • An ontology is a controlled vocabulary that describes objects and the relations between them in a formal way, and has a grammar for using the vocabulary terms to express something meaningful within a specified domain of interest. Source: members.optusnet.com.au/~webindexing/Webbook2Ed/glossary.htm • Ontology is the newest label attached to some KOSs. Ontologies are being developed as specific concept models by the Knowledge Management community. They can represent complex relationships between objects, and include the rules and axioms missing from semantic networks. Ontologies that describe knowledge in a specific area are often connected with systems for data mining and knowledge management.

IUPAC Nomenclature • Compendium of Chemical Terminology carbon Element number 6 of the periodic table of elements (electronic ground state 1s2 2s2 2p2). For a description of the various types of carbon as a solid the term carbon should be used only in combination with an additional noun or a clarifying adjective. See also amorphous carbon, carbon fibres, carbon material, glasslike carbon, graphitic carbon, non-graphitic carbon, pyrolytic carbon. 1995, 67, 479 • Nomenclature of Inorganic Compounds • Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry http://www.iupac.org/publications/books/seriestitles/nomenclature.html

Chemical Ontology • Describe chemical objects and relationships • Enable the search across multiple data sources • Bridge some of the graphical versus linguistic representations

ChEBI: What is it? • Chemical Entities of Biological Interest – an EBI database/dictionary of ‘biochemical compounds’ and other chemical entities of biochemical interest with an associated ontology • ChEBI’s goal is to provide standard terminology of (bio)chemical compounds that should finally be used in biological databases Source: Ennis, M.

Relationships in ChEBIontology Current • IsA: inherited from Chemical Ontology - class to class; instance to class To be implemented… • IsPartOf - group to molecule; group to group; group to class • IsEnantiomerOf - molecule to molecule; cycles allowed • IsTautomerOf - molecule to molecule; cycles allowed • IsConjugateBaseOf/IsConjugateAcidOf - molecule to molecule (e.g. anion to acid) • IsParentHydrideOf - molecule to molecule (later?)
