Developing an ontology.
In recent years, biological ontologies have emerged as a means of representing and organizing biological concepts, enabling biologists, bioinformaticians, and others to derive meaning from large datasets.This chapter provides an overview of formal principles and practical considerations of ontology construction and application. Ontology development concepts are illustrated using examples drawn from the Gene Ontology (GO) and other OBO ontologies.
