An Ontology for formal representation of Drug Drug Interaction Knowledge

Abstract

The poster at: The Sixth International Biocuration Conference (Biocuration 2013), took at April 7–10, 2013 in Churchill College, Cambridge, UK. The event web site in: http://www.ebi.ac.uk/biocuration2013/content/homeOntologies are useful tools in text miming reserach tasks as a source of specialized vocabulary of terms and relationships in a given domain. Furthermore, formal knowledge representation propvieded by ontologies can be applied for new knowledge inference, wich can be exploited for biomedical research purposes. Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) are common adverse drug ractions having an important impact on patient safety and healthcare cost.This work was supported by the Regional Government of Madrid under the Research Network MA2VICMR [S2009/TIC-1542], by the Spanish Ministry of Education under the project MULTIMEDICA [TIN2010-20644-C03-01].Publicad
