Figure 2. Templated MAxO term creation with DOSPD.

New terms are created by specifying a list of terms from an ontology such as the Chemical Entities of Biological Interest (ChEBI) and using the DOSDP to create the MAxO terms according to a template that specifies the structure of each component of the term to be created. In this example, an excerpt of the template is shown that specifies how to create the term name, definition, and OWL class definition. DOSDP creates a new MAxO term for each item in the list. In the example, coenzyme Q10 is shown. The template “%s supplementation” specifies that the name of item in the list (“coenzyme Q10”) should be substituted to create the final name (“coenzyme Q10 supplementation”). The remaining, unshown term components are created analogously.
