Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative

Large BioMed Track (largebio)

This track consists of finding alignments between the Foundational Model of Anatomy (FMA), SNOMED CT, and the National Cancer Institute Thesaurus (NCI). These ontologies are semantically rich and contain tens of thousands of classes.

UMLS Metathesaurus has been selected as the basis for the track reference alignments. UMLS is currently the most comprehensive effort for integrating independently-developed medical thesauri and ontologies, including FMA, SNOMED CT, and NCI. The integration of new UMLS sources combines automatic techniques, expert assessment, and auditing protocols.
