Natural and Artificial Concepts

668
In psychology, concepts can be divided into two categories: natural and artificial. Natural concepts are formed through direct or indirect experiences. For example, consider the concept of snow. If you live in a place with regular snowfall, such as Essex Junction, Vermont, you know snow through direct experiences. You’ve seen it fall, touched it, shoveled it, and played in it. You recognize its texture, appearance, and even its smell. In contrast, if you live on an island like Saint...

A schema is a mental construct that organizes related concepts, allowing the brain to process information efficiently. Upon activation, schemata facilitate assumptions about people or objects.
Two types of schemata are:

Protein Networks

4.7K
An organism can have thousands of different proteins, and these proteins must cooperate to ensure the health of an organism. Proteins bind to other proteins and form complexes to carry out their functions. Many proteins interact with multiple other proteins creating a complex network of protein interactions.
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...

Visual System

2.2K
Light enters the eye through the cornea, a transparent, dome-shaped surface covering the surface of the eyeball that helps to direct and focus incoming light. This light is then channeled toward the pupil, an adjustable opening whose size is controlled by the iris. The iris, a pigmented muscle, regulates the amount of light entering the eye by contracting or dilating the pupil, thereby ensuring optimal light levels for clear vision.
Once through the pupil, the light passes through the lens, a...

Concepts and Prototypes

The human nervous system handles vast amounts of information by translating sensory stimuli into neural impulses, which the brain processes, creating thoughts expressed through language or stored as memories. The brain also synthesizes information from emotions and memories, which significantly influence thoughts and behaviors. This intricate process creates a comprehensive mental picture.
The brain organizes this information using concepts, which are mental categories grouping linguistic data,...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Informatics
  • Ontology Engineering

Background:

  • Software tools are essential for biomedical ontology development and maintenance.
  • Ontology quality assurance is a critical but challenging task.
  • Previous work introduced abstraction networks for ontology quality assurance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the Ontology Abstraction Framework (OAF) as a unified system for ontology quality assurance.
  • To enable the derivation, visualization, and exploration of partial-area taxonomy abstraction networks.
  • To support various ontology representations including OWL and SNOMED CT.

Main Methods:

  • Development of the Ontology Abstraction Framework (OAF) software system.
  • Implementation of algorithms for deriving partial-area taxonomy abstraction networks.
  • Creation of a Protégé plugin for live partial-area taxonomy generation.

Main Results:

  • The OAF provides a unified approach to abstraction network generation and exploration.
  • Support for multiple ontology formats enhances the framework's applicability.
  • The Protégé plugin demonstrates practical, real-time application of the framework.

Conclusions:

  • The Ontology Abstraction Framework (OAF) offers a generalized and robust solution for ontology quality assurance.
  • OAF facilitates the analysis of complex biomedical ontologies through partial-area taxonomies.
  • This framework enhances the reliability and usability of biomedical ontologies.
