Mining to find the lipid interaction networks involved in Ovarian Cancers.

The role of lipids in cancer during the genesis, progression and subsequent metastasis stages is increasingly discussed in the scientific literature. This information is discussed in a wide range of journals making it difficult for researchers to track the latest developments. A comprehensive assessment and translation of the lipidome of ovarian cancer, originating from literature, has yet to be made.

Ontology-centric integration and navigation of the dengue literature.

Uninhibited access to the unstructured information distributed across the web and in scientific literature databases continues to be beyond the reach of scientists and health professionals. To address this challenge we have developed a literature driven, ontology-centric navigation infrastructure consisting of a content acquisition engine, a domain-specific ontology (in OWL-DL) and an ontology instantiation pipeline delivering sentences derived by domain-specific text mining. A visual query tool for reasoning over A-box instances in the populated ontology is presented and used to build conceptual queries that can be issued to the knowledgebase.

Towards ontology-driven navigation of the lipid bibliosphere.

Background: The indexing of scientific literature and content is a relevant and contemporary requirement within life science information systems. Navigating information available in legacy formats continues to be a challenge both in enterprise and academic domains. The emergence of semantic web technologies and their fusion with artificial intelligence techniques has provided a new toolkit with which to address these data integration challenges.
