Practical Ontologies
Lessons from the GO
February 2011
The time was 1998-99
 None of the model organism databases
used standard terminology to describe
biological function
 Drosophila sequence was imminent
 Largest genome sequenced at that time
 Two weeks, 3 dozen scientists, all new software
 How could we organize the annotation?
 microArray technology was the latest
research tool, and results needed to be
described
 AI folk and ontologists organized the first
“bio-ontologies” workshop at ISMB
The Gene Ontology—the beginning
 A handful of biologists (4) met in a
bar in Montreal after the bioontologies workshop to share their
frustrations and decided to just do
it*…
 Would demonstrate possibilities for
data integration across the MODs
(FlyBase, SGD, MGD)
 Provided an organizing principle for the
Drosophila genome annotation
jamboree
* i.e. Describe gene products in a biologically meaningful way.

The Gene Ontology project
 Annotated now
 The importance of stress-testing
 Don’t delay, use your ontology today
 Do no harm (KISS)
 i.e. Target the low hanging fruit, work
on the obvious, high-confidence steps
 Collaborate on concrete projects
 Focusing the mind
Annotations
 Have 3 primary components
 The ontology term(s)
 The entity instance (e.g. gene product)
 The evidence for that assertion
 An annotation is an evidence-based
assertion which indicates that this
entity is best classified/described by
this term(s)

Classification rule: Disambiguation
= bud initiation
= bud initiation
= bud initiation
The same name can be used to describe different
things.
Classification rule: Disambiguation
= tooth bud initiation
= cellular bud initiation
= flower bud initiation
Include plain “bud initiation” as a synonym for each
of these terms
Disambiguation
Exactly the same thing can be described with different
terms

 Comparison is difficult, especially across species
or across databases that each use one of these
different variants
 Use a single term, and plenty of synonyms
Annotation for a healthy ontology
 Easier to find the most accurate term(s) to
use
 Avoids annotation errors
 Easier for new curators to learn and
understand
 Develop annotation guidelines and
training material
 Enables automatic reasoning for
searching & inference
 Bottom line:
 Following basic construction rules makes more
useful ontologies
Improvement needed:
Closing the loop

 The ontology has a clearly specified
and clearly delineated content.
Decisions to make the work easier
 Provide definitions for everything
 Intelligible ontologies are more useful
 To humans (for annotation) and
 To machines (for searching, reasoning and
error-checking)
 Use content-free unique identifiers
 Drive all semantics away from tracking
 Don’t confuse the representational
technology with the conceptual
modeling

 Sociology—to enlist the community, the
ontology must meet each individual
group’s immediate needs.
 Too many people => Too many requirements
 Outstanding problems
 Closing the loop between ontology
construction and ontology application
 QC improvements
 Prioritizing tasks
 Visualization
