Textual Definitions in the Leukemia Domain: Methodological Guidelines for Biomedical Ontologies.

The goal of our study is to establish methodological guidelines for the formulation of definitions in biomedical ontologies thatare not so common in the field of Library & Information Science.

Representation of Biomedical Expertise in Ontologies: a Case Study about Knowledge Acquisition on HTLV viruses and their clinical manifestations.

In this paper, we introduce a set of methodological steps for knowledge acquisition applied to the organization of biomedical information through ontologies. Those steps are tested in a real case involving Human T Cell Lymphotropic Virus (HTLV), which causes myriad infectious diseases. We hope to contribute to providing suitable knowledge representation of scientific domains.
