]> Xiaoshu Wang Jonas S. Almeida Romesh Stanislaus Liuhong Jiang Minimum Information about 2DE Gel Electrophoresis This file defines an ontology that matches the information defined by MO2DG. The design of this ontology however is intended to offer MO2DG a version in RDF rather than to adhere the principles of ontology design. Because XML is a tree based structure so design of XML schema is mostly done by grouping related concepts. Ontology design however is done so according to the semantic meanings. Thus an ontology designed for describing the same information will look drastically different. Since this document is originated as an alternative to XML based MO2DG, the design goal is to keep the resemblance to its XML counter parts. 25 March 2005 TwoDE study extends from boss:Study. What we are suggesting here is that TwoDEStudy must use at least one BioSample as its material for the study. 1 1 The BioSample is used to group all biological samples used in a study. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Using a string datatype property is a temporary solution until a full ontology about species is created. But meanwhile the best practice of using this property is to comform to controlled vocabulary such as MeSH, DDC, etc. Again we recommend the best practice to use controlled vocabulary.
