The grammatical structures scholars use to express their assertions are intended to convey various degrees of certainty or speculation. Prior studies have suggested a variety of categorization systems for scholarly certainty. However, these have not been objectively tested for their validity, particularly with respect to representing the interpretation by the reader, rather than the intention of the author. In this study, we use a series of questionnaires to determine how researchers classify various scholarly assertions, using three distinct certainty classification systems. We find that there are three categories of certainty perceived by readers: one level of high certainty, and two levels of lower certainty that are somewhat less distinct, but nevertheless show a significant degree of inter-annotator agreement. We show that these categories can be detected in an automated manner, using a machine learning model, with a cross-validation accuracy of 89.2% relative to an author-annotated corpus, and 82.2% accuracy against a publicly-annotated corpus. This finding provides an opportunity for contextual metadata related to certainty to be captured as a part of text-mining pipelines, which currently miss these subtle linguistic cues. We provide an exemplar machine-accessible representation - a Nanopublication - where certainty category is embedded as metadata in a formal, ontology-based manner within text-mined scholarly assertions.

Clustering in states have been widely studied, although no standard has been concluded yet. We propose a generic, domain-independent and automatic procedure to determine a reliable set of microbiome sub-states within a specific dataset, and with respect to the conditions of the study. The robustness of sub-state identification is established by the combination of diverse techniques for stable cluster verification. We reuse four distinct longitudinal microbiome datasets to demonstrate the broad applicability of our method, analysing results with different taxa subset allowing to adjust it depending on the application goal, and showing that the methodology provides a set of robust sub-states to examine in downstream studies about dynamics in microbiome.

Objective: The objective of the Personal Health Lens system is to aid users when reading health-related webpages by providing warnings about personally relevant drug interactions. More broadly, we wish to present a prototype for a novel, generalizable approach to facilitating interactions between a patient, their practitioner(s), and the Web.

RESULTS: We present OPPL-Galaxy, a wrapper for using OPPL within Galaxy. The functionality delivered by OPPL (i.e. automated ontology manipulation) can be combined with the tools and workflows devised within the Galaxy framework, resulting in an enhancement of OPPL. Use cases are provided in order to demonstrate OPPL-Galaxy's capability for enriching, modifying and querying biomedicalontologies. CONCLUSIONS: Coupling OPPL-Galaxy with other bioinformatics tools of the Galaxy framework results in a system that is more than the sum of its parts. OPPL-Galaxy opens a new dimension of analyses and exploitation of biomedical ontologies, including automated reasoning, paving the way towards advanced biological data analyses.

We compare our automated analysis to that of the clinical expert, and discrepancies are used to refine the ontological models, finally arriving at ontologies that mirror the expert opinion of the individual clinical researcher.

Machine learning algorithms from WEKA detected rules linking medications to patient’s treatment-status. These rules were then compared to axioms encoded in the NDF-RT Ontology.

 abstract = {SADI-semantic automated discovery and integration- is a set of standards-compliant semantic Web service design patterns that exploit the relatively straightforward interfaces exposed by most bioinformatics services to simplify and partially automate service design and deployment. The SADI design explicitly exposes an important service feature -the semantic relationship between input and output data. SADI services consume and produce instances of OWL classes, where the service's function is to add properties onto the input class until it fulfills the class-membership requirements of the output class. Indexing services based on the properties they add enables discovery of Services that generate the biological features of interest relative to a piece of in-hand data. We show that this design pattern can be used to create a client application with strikingly rich semantic behaviors, such as automated discovery of distributed data resources and the automated orchestration of chains of Web services into complex workflows.},

SADI-semantic automated discovery and integration- is a set of standards-compliant semantic Web service design patterns that exploit the relatively straightforward interfaces exposed by most bioinformatics services to simplify and partially automate service design and deployment. The SADI design explicitly exposes an important service feature -the semantic relationship between input and output data. SADI services consume and produce instances of OWL classes, where the service's function is to add properties onto the input class until it fulfills the class-membership requirements of the output class. Indexing services based on the properties they add enables discovery of Services that generate the biological features of interest relative to a piece of in-hand data. We show that this design pattern can be used to create a client application with strikingly rich semantic behaviors, such as automated discovery of distributed data resources and the automated orchestration of chains of Web services into complex workflows.
