Abstract:
Ontologies are being used nowadays in many areas, including bioinformatics. One of the issues in ontology research is the aligning and merging of ontologies. Tools have been developed for ontology merging, but they have not been evaluated for their use in bioinformatics. In this paper we evaluate two of the most well-known ontology merging tools with a bioinformatics perspective. As test ontologies we have used Gene Ontology and Signal-Ontology.
