Ontology Generation Plugin (DOG4DAG)
 | Dresden Ontology Generator for Directed Acyclic Graphs (DOG4DAG) |
DOG4DAG is an ontology generation plugin for both Protégé 4.1 and OBO-Edit 2.1. It allows for term generation, sibling generation, definition generation, and relationship induction. By integrating it into Protégé and OBO-Edit, DOG4DAG allows ontology extension for all common ontology formats (e.g., OWL and OBO).
Features include:
- Generation of terms from natural language text (English or German) that can be retrieved from PubMed, the Web or from PDF documents.
- Discovery of siblings from existing terms with identical parent terms.
- Domain-independent generation of natural language definitions.
- Prediction of sub-class relationships.
- Automatic mapping of generated terms to existing ontologies using the BioPortal Web Service or the EBI Ontology Lookup Service.
