在开发生物医学研究本体（Ontology of Biomedical Investigations， OBI）时，添加具有相似逻辑定义模式的类的过程非常耗时、容易出错，并且需要具有OWL专业知识的编辑人员。此外，该过程不适合大量在本体开发方面经验有限的领域专家，这可能会阻碍贡献。我们已经开发了一个过程来简化这项任务，并允许这些领域专家以一种既有效地包含复杂逻辑定义，又最少需要OBI开发人员手工干预的方式向本体添加术语。该过程基于以电子表格格式编辑Quick Term Template，该格式随后被转换为OWL文件。当使用早期版本的MappingMaster Protege插件进行评估时，获得了令人鼓舞的结果，这证明了该过程有望成为一种健壮且可扩展的本体丰富方法。
When developing the Ontology of Biomedical Investigations (OBI), the process of adding classes with similar patterns of logical definition is time consuming, error prone, and requires an editor to have some expertise in OWL. Moreover, the process is poorly suited for a large number of domain experts who have limited experience with ontology development, and this can hinder contributions. We have developed a procedure to ease this task and allow such domain experts to add terms to the ontology in a way that both effectively includes complex logical definitions, yet requires minimal manual intervention by the OBI developers. The procedure is based on editing a Quick Term Template in a spreadsheet format that is subsequently converted into an OWL file. This procedure promises to be a robust and scalable approach for ontology enrichment as evidenced by encouraging results obtained when evaluated with an early version of the MappingMaster Protege plugin.
