While extensive E. coli vaccine research has been conducted, we are still unable to fully protect ourselves against E. coli infections. In this study, we first extended the Vaccine Ontology (VO) to semantically represent various E. coli vaccines and genes used in the vaccine development. We also normalized E. coli gene names compiled from the annotations of various E. coli strains. The Interaction Network Ontology (INO) includes various interaction-related keywords useful for literature mining. Using VO, INO, and normalized E. coli gene names, we applied an ontology- based SciMiner literature mining strategy to mine all PubMed abstracts and retrieve E. coli vaccine-associated gene interactions. Using vaccine-related abstracts, our study identified 11,350 sentences that contain 88 unique INO interaction types and at least two out of 1,781 unique E. coli genes. From this big network, a sub-network that contains 5 E. coli vaccine genes, 62 other E. coli genes, and 25 INO interaction types were also identified. A centrality analysis of these gene interaction networks identified top ranked E. coli genes and INO interaction types. Our INO hierarchical classification also provided an effective way to identify and study the relations and patterns among the 25 interaction types.}, url = {http://icbo.cgrb.oregonstate.edu/}, author = {Junguk Hur and Arzucan Ozgur and Edison Ong and Yongqun He} } @conference {IP07, title = {IP07: The Cell Line Ontology integration and analysis of the knowledge of LINCS cell lines}, booktitle = {International Conference on Biomedical Ontology and BioCreative (ICBO BioCreative 2016)}, series = {Proceedings of the Joint International Conference on Biological Ontology and BioCreative (2016)}, year = {2016}, month = {11/30/16}, publisher = {CEUR-ws.org Volume 1747}, organization = {CEUR-ws.org Volume 1747}, abstract = {

Cell lines are crucial to study molecular signatures and pathways, and are widely used in the NIH Common Fund LINCS project. The Cell Line Ontology (CLO) is a community-based ontology representing and classifying cell lines from different resources. To better serve the LINCS research community, from the LINCS Data Portal and ChEMBL, we identified 1,097 LINCS cell lines, among which 717 cell lines were associated with 121 cancer types, and 352 cell line terms did not exist in CLO. To harmonize LINCS cell line representation and CLO, CLO design patterns were slightly updated to add new information of the LINCS cell lines including different database cross-reference IDs. A new shortcut relation was generated to directly link a cell line to the disease of the patient from whom the cell line was originated. After new LINCS cell lines and related information were added to CLO, a CLO subset/view (LINCS-CLOview) of LINCS cell lines was generated and analyzed to identify scientific insights into these LINCS cell lines. This study provides a first time use case on how CLO can be updated and applied to support cell line research from a specific research community or project initiative.

When a widely reused ontology appears in a new version which is not compatible with older versions, the ontologies reusing it need to be updated accordingly. Ontobull (http://ontobull.hegroup.org) has been developed to automatically update ontologies with new term IRI(s) and associated metadata to take account of such version changes. To use the Ontobull web interface a user is required to (i) upload one or more ontology OWL source files; (ii) input an ontology term IRI mapping; and (where needed) (iii) provide update settings for ontology headers and XML namespace IDs. Using this information, the backend Ontobull Java program automatically updates the OWL ontology files with desired term IRIs and ontology metadata. The Ontobull subprogram BFOConvert supports the conversion of an ontology that imports a previous version of BFO. A use case is pro- vided to demonstrate the features of Ontobull and BFOConvert.

Ignet (Integrative Gene Network) is a web-based system for dynamical- ly updating and analyzing gene interaction networks mined using all Pub- Med abstracts. Four centrality metrics, namely degree, eigenvector, be- tweenness, and closeness are used to determine the importance of genes in the networks. Different gene interaction types between genes are classified using the Interaction Network Ontology (INO) that classifies interaction types in an ontological hierarchy along with individual keywords listed for each interaction type. An interactive user interface is designed to explore the interaction network as well as the centrality and ontology based net- work analysis. Availability: http://ignet.hegroup.org.
