Rule Set for UniProtKB to the Telomere Ontology

Figure 9: The description of the UniProtKB syntactic ontology, as shown in SWRLTab. Filters on the mappings are displayed in the SWRLTab representation as constraints within the rules themselves. This is not a complete rule set for the entirety of UniProtKB, merely a complete set of rules for describing the use cases.

The UniProtKB description, shown in Figure 9, is quite different from the other data sources'. While UniProtKB contains a large amount of information, it is protein-centric and not reaction-centric. However, some reactions are presented via comment sections and cross-references to other databases. More importantly for our purposes, rich information about a protein, described in other databases with much less detail, is available to telomere ontology via this data source. Specifically, information regarding protein localisation within the cell as well as synonyms of gene and protein names are available. This description is the simplest of all of the syntactic ontologies': many classes required for the use cases have direct equivalents in telomere ontology, and the cardinalities of many relations are the same. While the UniProtKB does contain some limited information on reactions a protein is involved in via the comment and cross-reference sections, these are not currently modelled by the UniProtKB syntactic ontology.
