Abstract

With the proliferation of bio-ontologies in the molecular biological community, concern remains about their quality. There are a number of frameworks and models have been developed to assess the quality of Gene Ontology, which is one of the most influential and widely used bio-ontologies in the community. However, without any theoretical guide for quality assessment, most of these frameworks and models are incomplete and intuitive, and cannot assess the quality of Gene Ontology consistently, systematically, and completely. This study uses a theoretical information quality assessment framework to guide the development of a quality evaluation model for the Gene Ontology, using both the conceptual and empirical approaches.
