Abstract
A repository of clinically associated Staphylococcus aureus (Sa) isolates is used to semi-automatically generate a set of application ontologies for specific subfamilies of Sa-related disease. Each such application ontology is compatible with the Infectious Disease Ontology (IDO) and uses resources from the Open Biomedical Ontology (OBO) Foundry. The set of application ontologies forms a lattice structure beneath the IDO-Core and IDO-extension reference ontologies. We show howthis lattice can be used to define a strategy for the construction of a new taxonomy of infectious disease incorporating genetic, molecular, and clinical data. We also outline how faceted browsing and query of annotated data is supported using a lattice application ontology.
