OBO是一种本体语言,经常用于生命科学中的本体建模。它的定义是相对非正式的,所以,在本文中,我们提供了一个明确的规范OBO的语法和语义通过映射到OWL。这种映射还允许我们将现有的语义Web工具和技术应用于OBO。我们表明,语义Web推理机可以用来有效地推理与OBO本体。此外,我们表明,接地的OBO语言的形式语义是有用的本体开发过程中:使用OWL推理,我们检测到一个OBO本体可能的建模错误。
OBO is an ontology language that has often been used for modeling ontologies in the life sciences. Its definition is relatively informal, so, in this paper, we provide a clear specification for OBO syntax and semantics via a mapping to OWL. This mapping also allows us to apply existing Semantic Web tools and techniques to OBO. We show that Semantic Web reasoners can be used to efficiently reason with OBO ontologies. Furthermore, we show that grounding the OBO language in formal semantics is useful for the ontology development process: using an OWL reasoner, we detected a likely modeling error in one OBO ontology.
