Median number of Google search results for concepts in verification task

Search Type Ontology Median search results*
Quoted Gene Ontology 6125
SNOMED CT 780
Unquoted Gene Ontology 450000
SNOMED CT 723500

To understand whether the number of search results available for GO concepts and SNOMED CT concepts differed significantly, we ran a Wilcoxon rank-sum test.

*

There was a statistically significant difference in number of search results between GO and SNOMED CT for both quoted and unquoted searches (p<0.05)
