Abstract:
The Translational Medicine Ontology provides terminology that bridges diverse areas of translational medicine including hypothesis management, discovery research, drug development and formulation, clinical research, and clinical practice. Designed primarily from use cases, the ontology consists of essential terms that are mapped to other ontologies. It serves as a global schema for data integration while simultaneously facilitating the formulation of complex queries across heterogeneous sources. We demonstrate the utility of the ontology through question answering over a prototype knowledge base composed of sample patient data integrated with linked open data. This work forms a basis for the development of a computational platform for managing
