Abstract

This paper presents an approach to the development of bio-ontology using the Object-oriented Ontology Manager(OOM). OOM views a term of an ontology as an object which can be an instance or a concept. OOM facilitates the semi-automatic construction of ontologies by an intuitive interface and by inferencing with links among complicated and informative ontology terns. The main advantage of OOM is simple-to-use not compromising expressiveness so that ontologies in a complicated domain such as bioinformatics can be modeled intuitively. The ontologies constructed by OOM are easily exported to ontologies in other ontology languages without semantic loss because the structures of both the ontology by OOM and the ontologies in most of standard ontology languages are analogous. A translator to another standard ontology language is also provided by OOM so that the ontology can be combined with others to be applied to more complicated applications.

본 논문에서는 온톨로지를 구축하고 관리하는 객체 지향 온톨로지 관리기(Object-oriented Ontology Manager, OOM)를 이용한 바이오 온톨로지의 구축과 관리를 보인다. OOM은 객체지향 패러다임을 기반으로 보다 정교한 온톨로지의 구축을 위해 다양한 관계들을 지원하며, 다른 온톨로지와의 병합을 위해 다른 언어로의 온톨로지 번역기를 제공한다. OOM은 생명 정보학 관련 온톨로지의 많은 지식을 내포하고 있는 용어와 이들 간의 복잡한 관계를 쉽게 표현할 수 있도록 가시적인 개념화에 의해 온톨로지를 구축한다. 또한, 관계 링크에 기반한 추론 기능을 지원하여 온톨로지 구축과 관리를 용이하게 하고, 질의 시 적합한 결과를 제시한다. 따라서 OOM은 기존의 온톨로지 툴에 비해 단순하면서도 의미적 표현력이 뛰어나 바이오 온톨로지와 같은 복잡한 응용의 온톨로지도 개념적으로 쉬운 방식으로 모델링 할 수 있다. 또한 OOM에서 지향하는 객체지향 패러다임은 표준 온톨로지 언어의 내부 스키마와 유사함으로 의미적 손실없이 표준 온톨로지 언어로 쉽게 변환되어 온톨로지들 간의 병합이 가능하다.
