Produktbeschreibung

Bioinformatics as a discipline has come of age. There are now numerous databases and tools that are widely used by researchers in biomedicine. However, successful development of future bioinformatics applications depends on a formalized representation of domain knowledge. This book provides a timely and first-of-its-kind collection of contributed chapters on anatomy ontologies. It is interdisciplinary in its approach, bringing together expertise from computing and biomedical studies. The book covers both theoretical and applied aspects, with an emphasis on newer work relevant to the emerging semantic web. Although written for readers involved in developing the next generation of IT applications in life sciences, biomedicine and health care, this unique book is of interest to anyone who develops and uses anatomy ontologies or is involved in the actual development of relevant semantic web applications.
