From: Orymold: ontology based gene expression data integration and analysis tool applied to rice
Conceptual diagram of the building blocks of Orymold. From the Java Swing interface of the application, users can access the ontology and the gene expression data, annotations, and images linked to it and stored in the underlying DBMS. The ontology serves simultaneously as an interface between data and user and as integration scaffold, allowing for the construction of semantic queries.
