Biomedical informatics and granularity
Comparative and Functional Genomics 5 (6-7):501-508 (2004)
Abstract
An explicit formal-ontological representation of entities existing at multiple levels of granularity is an urgent requirement for biomedical information processing. We discuss some fundamental principles which can form a basis for such a representation. We also comment on some of the implicit treatments of granularity in currently available ontologies and terminologies (GO, FMA, SNOMED CT).Author's Profile
