Summary
Maintaining accurate biomedical information annotations is crucial. This study introduces a framework to adapt annotations when Knowledge Organization Systems (KOS) evolve, ensuring data integrity.
Area of Science:
- Biomedical Informatics
- Knowledge Management
- Data Science
Background:
- Knowledge Organization Systems (KOS) are vital for machine-readable biomedical data.
- Annotations link KOS concepts to digital information (text, images).
- Evolving KOS can cause outdated annotations, leading to data mismatches.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present a framework for adapting biomedical annotations.
- To address the challenge of maintaining annotation quality amidst KOS evolution.
Main Methods:
- Developed a framework utilizing rules, background knowledge, and change patterns.
- Designed to drive the annotation adaptation process automatically.
- Experimental evaluation in realistic case studies.
Main Results:
- Demonstrated the framework's effectiveness in adapting annotations.
- Evaluated performance across different KOS.
- Quantified results using precision, recall, F1-score, and AUC.
Conclusions:
- The proposed framework effectively maintains annotation quality.
- Ensures reliable association between biomedical information and evolving KOS concepts.
- Offers a robust solution for managing dynamic biomedical knowledge bases.

Many covalent molecules have central atoms that do not have eight electrons in their Lewis structures. These molecules fall into three categories:

03:36Genome Annotation and Assembly
21.1K
The genome refers to all of the genetic material in an organism. It can range from a few million base pairs in microbial cells to several billion base pairs in many eukaryotic organisms. Genome assembly refers to the process of taking the DNA sequencing data and putting it all back together in a correct order to create a close representation of the original genome. This is followed by the identification of functional elements on the newly assembled genome, a process called genome annotation.

02:36Lewis Symbols and the Octet Rule
81.7K
Chemical bonds are complex interactions between two or more atoms or ions, which reduce the potential energy of the molecule. Gilbert N. Lewis developed a model called the Lewis model that simplified the depiction of chemical bond formation and provided straightforward explanations for the chemical bonds seen in most common compounds.

03:02The Aufbau Principle and Hund's Rule
73.7K
To determine the electron configuration for any particular atom, we can build the structures in the order of atomic numbers. Beginning with hydrogen, and continuing across the periods of the periodic table, we add one proton at a time to the nucleus and one electron to the proper subshell until we have described the electron configurations of all the elements. This procedure is called the aufbau principle, from the German word aufbau (“to build up”). Each added electron occupies the...

01:50Global Climate Change
29.0K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

02:27Background and Environment Affect Phenotype
7.7K
Although the genetic makeup of an organism plays a major role in determining the phenotype, there are also several environmental factors, such as temperature, oxygen availability, presence of mutagens, that can alter an organism’s phenotype.
An example of how genetic background affects phenotype can be seen in horses. The Extension gene in horses is responsible for their coat color. A wild-type gene (EE) produces black pigment in the coat, while a mutant gene (ee) produces red pigment. A...
