Abstract

In the biomedical domain, Protégé and OBO-Edit are the main ontology editors supporting the manual construction of ontologies. Since manual creation is a laborious and hence costly process, there have been efforts to automate parts of this process. Here, we give a demo of the capabilities of DOG4DAG, the Dresden Ontology Generator for Directed Acyclic Graphs, which is available as plugin to both OBO-Edit and Protégé. In the demo, we describe how to generate terms and in particular siblings, definitions, and is-a relationships using an example in the domain of nervous system diseases. We summarise the strengths and limits of the different the steps of the generation process.
