Abstract

For many researchers, the purpose of ontologies is sharing data. This sharing is facilitated when ontologies are available in multiple languages, but inhibited when an ontology is only available in a single language. Ontologies should be accessible to people in multiple languages, since multilingualism is inevitable in any scientific work. Due to resource scarcity, most ontologies of the biomedical domain are available only in English at present. We present techniques to translate Gene Ontology terms from English to German using DBPedia, the Google Translate API for isolated terms, and the Google Translate API for terms in sentential context. Average fluency scores for the three methods were 4.0, 4.4, and 4.5, respectively. Average adequacy scores were 4.0, 4.9, and 4.9.

本体论翻译:基因本体论英译德文个案研究。

对于许多研究人员来说，本体的目的是共享数据。当本体以多种语言提供时，这种共享得到促进，但当本体仅以一种语言提供时，这种共享受到抑制。本体论应该对使用多种语言的人开放，因为多语言在任何科学工作中都是不可避免的。由于资源短缺，目前大多数生物医学领域的本体只有英文版本。我们介绍了将基因本体术语从英语翻译成德语的技术，使用DBPedia、孤立术语的Google翻译API和句子上下文中的术语的Google翻译API。三种方法的平均流利度得分分别为4.0、4.4和4.5。平均充分性得分分别为4.0、4.9和4.9。
