BOWiki

rdfs:comment

Recent biological research has generated an increasing amount of data, resulting in a complex assemblage of information. While sequence analysis and micro-array experiments have revealed information about genes, these might not have been intensively studied or even remain unknown. To assist the biological community with gathering and structuring their knowledge, a software project named BOWiki has been developed. Its application can make biological knowledge easier to handle for both humans and computers.

Recent biological research has generated an increasing amount of data, resulting in a complex assemblage of information. While sequence analysis and micro-array experiments have revealed information about genes, these might not have been intensively studied or even remain unknown. To assist the biological community with gathering and structuring their knowledge, a software project named BOWiki has been developed. Its application can make biological knowledge easier to handle for both humans and computers. BOWiki is a Semantic Wiki for collaborative editing of biomedical ontologies and gene data. By applying the Ontology of Functions, it provides the functionality for editing of gene functions and annotations. The BOWiki is capable of using a type system based on an OWL ontology together with a description logic reasoner in order to perform consistency checks and queries.
