There is a Clinical Pharmacogenomics telecon scheduled for tomorrow, Wednesday, 
10:15 Eastern Time (remember that we decided to have the telecon a bit 
earlier). I suggest that we use the teleconference to discuss this!

Subject: Re: PK Ontology


This is relevant, thanks for finding Bob. Lang Li's group has been doing some 
interesting work. This ontology is a start in the right direction but has some 
issues (see below). I  would certainly be interested in discussing this and 
related work on a call. As you know, I would like to lead an effort to build a 
DDI ontology for the semantic web that meets pharmacist use cases. 

Comments:
- The ontology uses almost no formal definitions except for those imported. 

- It is inconsistent according to Hermit 1.3.6 and Fact++ (Protege 4.2)

- a quick inspection finds evidence that formal relationships are not being 
used e.g., why are CYP probe inhibitors and inducers sub-classes of specific 
CYP families? As it is, Omeprazole is_a CYP1A2-inducer-probe is_a CYP1A2 is_a 
Metabolism-enzyme!? Seems this should be a relationship between a set of a 
drug/chemicals as the domain and a CYP family as the range.

- The enzymes themselves are not mapped to anything!

- Its good to see muon's and positrons in there just in case... ;)

- variants come from the Sequence ontology

- the paper refers to a 2006 guidance to industry on drug-drug interaction 
studies for probe inhibitors, inducers, and substrates (see page 7 URL). This 
was updated in 2012 
(http://www.fda.gov/downloads/Drugs/GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/Guidances/ucm292362.pdf)
 and its not clear if the ontology has been updated with it (I know that I need 
to update the Drug Interaction Knowledge Base).

- There are at least two other DDI corpuses out there besides Li's and the 
SemEval 2011. SemEval 2013 has a new corpus with MedLine and DrugBank 
annotations that will be publicly released in a couple of months when this 
years' the SemEval DDI challenge is completed 
(http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/semeval-2013/task9/). Also, we have made public a 
corpus of pharmacokinetic PDDIs manually annotated from drug product labeling:

    Hi All,

    I haven't read this yet, but thought the abstract sounded interesting.  
Perhaps it is a topic for a future meeting?

    Thanks,
    Bob

    Abstract


    ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Drug pharmacokinetics parameters, drug interaction 
parameters, and pharmacogenetics data have been unevenly collected in different 
databases and published extensively in the literature. Without appropriate 
pharmacokinetics ontology and a well annotated pharmacokinetics corpus, it will 
be difficult to develop text mining tools for pharmacokinetics data collection 
from the literature and pharmacokinetics data integration from multiple 
databases.Description: A comprehensive pharmacokinetics ontology was 
constructed. It can annotate all aspects of in vitro pharmacokinetics 
experiments and in vivo pharmacokinetics studies. It covers all drug metabolism 
and transportation enzymes. Using our pharmacokinetics ontology, a PK-corpus 
was constructed to present four classes of pharmacokinetics abstracts: in vivo 
pharmacokinetics studies, in vivo pharmacogenetic studies, in vivo drug 
interaction studies, and in vitro drug interaction studies. A novel 
hierarchical three level annotation scheme was proposed and implemented to tag 
key terms, drug interaction sentences, and drug interaction pairs. The utility 
of the pharmacokinetics ontology was demonstrated by annotating three 
pharmacokinetics studies; and the utility of the PK-corpus was demonstrated by 
a drug interaction extraction text mining analysis. CONCLUSIONS: The 
pharmacokinetics ontology annotates both in vitro pharmacokinetics experiments 
and in vivo pharmacokinetics studies. The PK-corpus is a highly valuable 
resource for the text mining of pharmacokinetics parameters and drug 
interactions.
