Bio-ontology

OWL Lite provides the capability to describe simple taxonomic classifications and lacks the expressivity to make rich descriptions of classes of instances. It provides a migration path for thesauri and simple taxonomies, such as those commonly seen in bio-ontologies such as GO. 

In this section we discuss the organizations that are promoting the development and the adoption of ontologies in the life sciences field. GO and MGED are the most prominent examples, but other groups are active in the field as well, including the Bio-Ontologies Consortium, the Bio-Pathways Consortium, and others. 

The Open Bio-Ontologies effort acts as an umbrella under which bio-ontologies may be developed and disseminated. OBO has a set of principles that govern inclusion ... 

At the genome level, the Gene Ontology (GO) Consortium (http // www.geneontology.org) introduced a comprehensive bio-ontology that is... 

In his latest works Vernadsky tries to do it by means of the four basic notions natural body, duration, symmetry and entropy. It is not the way to solve the double-temporality problem completely, but it is the way to take the problem out of the biosphere and consequently out of the domain of phenomena Vernadsky mainly deals with. The hypothetical methodological ground of this approach could be interpreted in the following way assume that in the frame of the bio here there are some fundamentally different kinds of natural bodies and fundamentally different kinds of processes in which they participate. Then reduce the times to the properties of these natural bodies. Doing so, we could define the peculiarities of the different times . The ontological consequences of this step will be for now ignored.
