Abstract:
A key aspect to address data integration and semantic interoperability is the use of terminologies and ontologies. Ontology repositories, have been developed to facilitate the identification, reuse and valorization of ontologies. The NCBO BioPortal, for instance, allows anyone to locate, select, browse, search, comment and use for annotation, any of the +500 biomedical ontologies available within the portal. It also stores (and generates some) mappings between these ontologies and indexes relevant biomedical resources. The success of the NCBO BioPortal motivates other domains to actually provide such a resource to their communities (e.g., agronomy, environmental sciences, etc.) and the question of reusing available technology obviously raises first to avoid redeveloping software and tools that have been designed and extensively used and second, to facilitate interoperability between the domains. In this talk, I will review our work achieved within the Semantic Indexing of French Biomedical Data Resources (http://www.lirmm.fr/sifr) and AgroPortal (http://agroportal.lirmm.fr) projects in which we (i) build ontology-based services to index, mine and retrieve French biomedical data; (ii) develop and support a reference ontology repository for the agronomic domain. In both cases, we are reusing the NCBO technology and identifying new use cases and challenges in managing ontologies and ontology-based services. I will present our platforms, the genericity/specificity of our approach and try to discuss a vision of mutual cooperative efforts that can benefit any users interested in ontologies, in any languages and in any domain.
