From SNOMED CT to Uberon: Transferability of evaluation methodology between similarly structured ontologies

作者:

Highlights:

• A generalization of a disjoint partial-area taxonomy methodology between similarly structured ontologies.

• The methodology effectively identifies areas in Uberon that produce higher yield for retrospective review.

• First demonstration of the applicability of the methodology across ontologies with similar characteristics.

• Overall, Uberon exhibits a relatively low rate of issues.

• Disjoint partial-areas and semantic complexity indicators can reduce resource demand when conducting retrospective reviews of content.
