The Nanoparticles Ontology for the Study of Cancer Nanotechnology
Author(s): Ben Smith*
In particular, in order to make it easier to use informatics methods for semantic integration, knowledge-based searching,
unambiguous interpretation, mining, and inferencing of the data, ontologies that provide a unified knowledge framework for
annotating the data are required. The Nano Particle Ontology, developed within the framework of the Basic Formal Ontology
and implemented in the Ontology Web Language employing well-defined ontology design principles, is the subject of this
paper. The NPO was created to represent the understanding of how nanomaterials used in cancer research are made, made
of chemicals, and characterized. The National Center for Biomedical Ontology's Bio Portal website provides access to public
releases of the. .. View more»
