Summary:
Exploring the computational background of ontologies, Introduction to Bio-Ontologies helps readers understand ontological algorithms and their applications. This self-contained text describes a host of bio-ontologies, covers graph and inference algorithms, and explains how these algorithms are used in biological and biomedical applications. It also includes overviews of the R programming language and the W3C standards of XML, RDF, and OWL. Software and data are available on a supporting website. Book jacket.
