As the amount of data being generated in biology has
increased, a major challenge has been how to store
and represent this data in a way that makes it
easily accessible to researchers from diverse
domains. Understanding the relationship between
genotype and phenotype is a major focus of
biological research. Various approaches to providing
the link between genes and their functions have been
undertaken - most require significant and dedicated
manual curation. Advances in web technologies make
possible an alternative route for the construction
of such knowledge bases - large-scale community
collaboration. We describe here a system, the
BOWiki, for the collaborative annotation of gene
information. We argue that a semantic wiki
provides the functionality required for this
project since this can capitalize on the existing
representations in biological ontologies. We
describe our implementation and show how formal
ontologies could be used to increase the usability
of the software through type-checking and automatic
reasoning. |
