In this paper, we define several quantitative measures that are useful when using ontologies to describe biological data. More precisely, we define the precision of a term inside an ontology, and use this concept to quantify the similarity between terms inside an ontology, or, by extension, between biological entities annotated to terms of the ontology. This similarity measure is used to build a hierarchical tree between biological objects annotated to a particular ontology. The graphical representation of this tree allows to easily interpret the relationships between objects of a set based on this ontology, and to identify relevant annotations. We have implemented this principle in ClusterInspector, a tool that allows to browse the resulti...
