Introduction

In recent years, a large number of ontologies have been introduced for biomedical research and clinical practice. As a result, there exist increasing demands on knowledge discovery and sharing of large scale biomedical data. The first notable effort shown by the biomedical and scientific community toward connecting scattered biomedical data is to materialize them through the open data movement (i.e., the Linked Data, bio2RDF, OBO). In the field of translational biomedical informatics, biomedical ontologies are always viewed as important knowledge pieces to facilitate the development of innovative analytic methods and tools to transform large amount of biomedical and genomic data into meaningful clinical and biomedical knowledge. It will largely accelerate information exchange to achieve the goal of transforming research outputs to clinical practice (bench-to-bedside), in order to conduct biomedical knowledge discovery and improve health services and patient care outcomes.
