Integration of lexical and ontological mapping.

<p>The Lexical OWL Ontology Matcher is applied to the Human and Mammalian Phenotype Ontology to extract lexically matching concepts (based on labels and synonyms). All pairs of lexically matching concepts are inserted as equivalence class axioms into PhenomeBLAST’s ontology. A mapping is generated by reasoning over PhenomeBLAST’s adapted ontology and extracting all equivalence and super classes for each concept.
