Mark good question. There could be subproperties. However, in practice as we are trying to detect these relationships across several databases and millions of samples the underlying individual data models make it challenging to detect derived from, so having any confidence and in sub properti

Would there be sub-properties of "derived-from": "extracted-from" and "adapted-from"? M On Fri, 27 Apr 2012 10:54:21 +0200, Helen Parkinson wrote: Derived-from can be used to model e.g. DNAs derived from a cell line, a blood derived from a person etc. We will be using this in the Bio

Dear Scott and HCLS people we have a new format for BioSamples database at the EBI which models these relationships more precisely as derived-from. I agree that has characteristic is rather weak modelling of this reln. Derived-from can be used to model e.g. DNAs derived from a cell line, a blo

Hi from a rest stop in Vermont with tasty coffee and wifi :) So SIO features a few information relations of interest. The most basic is 'refers to', http://semanticscience.org/resource/SIO_000628 which is to say that an entity is mentioned. If there is an actual description, then we can

Hmm. Michel suggested that "set" of relations in November: Michel wrote: " there are some basic relations that we can look at, for instance, i have defined a wider set of relations as part of my SIO ontology: " What we were looking for was a way to describe that a given dataset might have to do wi

I think Michel deprecated "is related to" DURING the Hackathon! (out of disgust, if I recall correctly...) "not enough semantics"! So... He's forcing us to be more clever :-) M "M. Scott Marshall" wrote: On Monday, Jim's description reminded me about a recent discussion in the biohackathon d

On Monday, Jim's description reminded me about a recent discussion in the biohackathon dbcatalog group about the best predicate for indicating that a dataset has 'something to do with', for example, mus musculus (not unlike Mark's example). I remembered some is_about predicate from SIO. The predica

H... what's the range of that predicate? It's a bit like the SIO "has attribute", where you need to be sure to explicitly type what's at the other end to do "useful" reasoning. We're just concluding a project where we use species-of-origin to restrict the choices the SHARE query resolver can
