A Formal Ontology of Sequences

Year: 2009

Venue: Nature Precedings

Authors: Robert Hoehndorf, Janet Kelso, Heinrich Herre

Abstract

The Sequence Ontology is an OBO Foundry ontology that provides categories of sequences and sequence features that are applied to the annotation of genomes. To facilitate interoperability with other domain ontologies and to provide a foundation for automated inference, we provide here an axiom system for the Sequence and Junction categories in first- and second-order predicate logics.
