报告摘要：

Ontology is human- and machine-understandable representation of entities and the relations among entities in a specific domain. Since the publication of the Gene Ontology (GO) in 2000, ontology has emerged to play an important role in standard biomedical knowledge and data representation, integration, and computer-assisted data analysis. Now hundreds of ontologies have been developed to support biomedical research. Efforts are also taken to integrate these ontologies together to support ontology interoperability for more advanced data analysis. Artificial intelligence (AI) requires machine understanding, learning, and reasoning. Ontology is the basis of supporting advanced AI tasks such as natural language processing and deep learning in basic, clinical and translational biomedical fields.
