Jack, The following paper describes NIFSTD: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18975148 It is an integrated neuroscience ontology developed by the Neuroscience Information Framework (NIF). It includes NeuroNames (from BrainInfo) for anatomical regions plus curation/comments. -Kei Jack Park wrote: >Looking at BrainInfo [1], which, as I recall, serves as a nomenclature >source for UMLS, the two names, telencephalon, and cerebrum, are >treated separately; neither mentions the other as a synonym (unless I >missed something). > >Jack >[1] http://braininfo.rprc.washington.edu/Default.aspx > >On Thu, Mar 26, 2009 at 11:56 AM, Kingsley Idehen ><kidehen@openlinksw.com> wrote: > > >>Kei Cheung wrote: >> >> >>>Matthias, >>> >>>In DBPedia, the following pages describe 2 brain regions (Telencephalon >>>and Cerebrum): >>> >>>http://dbpedia.org/resource/Telencephalon >>>http://dbpedia.org/page/Cerebrum >>> >>> >><http://dbpedia.org/resource/Telencephalon> dbpprop:redirect >><http://dbpedia.org/resource/Cerebrum> >> >>DBpedia world view should be formally expressed as: >><http://dbpedia.org/resource/Telencephalon> owl:sameAs >><http://dbpedia.org/resource/Cerebrum> >> >>Based on: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telencephalon which reads: >>The *cerebrum or telencephalon*, together with the diencephalon, constitute >>the forebrain.... >> >>If doesn't set off a war, I'll issue a SPARQL Update :-) >> >> >>Kingsley >> >> >>>NIFSTD is listed as one of the neuroscience ontologies through BioPortal, >>>its description of cerebrum is available at: >>> >>>http://bioportal.bioontology.org/visualize/39595/p15:birnlex_1042 >>> >>>If you read the editorial note (written by Bill Bug), it says: >>> >>>"It isn't clear all would agree Cerebrum and Telencephalon are >>>equivalent." >>> >>>Should we use "sameAs" or something else? >>> >>>Cheers, >>> >>>-Kei >>> >>> >>>Matthias Samwald wrote: >>> >>> >>>>Question: Does a mapping between DBpedia and the OBO ontologies exist? >>>>Has someone already invested some time in doing this, or at least reviewed >>>>how to best approach it? >>>> >>>>Given the central position of DBpedia in the linked data cloud and its >>>>rich content in the biomedical domain, creating such a mapping is an obvious >>>>(and very useful) thing to do. >>>> >>>> >>>>Cheers, >>>>Matthias Samwald >>>> >>>>DERI Galway, Ireland >>>>http://deri.ie/ >>>> >>>>Konrad Lorenz Institute for Evolution & Cognition Research, Austria >>>>http://kli.ac.at/ >>>> >>>> >>>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>-- >> >> >>Regards, >> >>Kingsley Idehen Weblog: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen >>President & CEO OpenLink Software Web: http://www.openlinksw.com >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> > > > >
