BACKGROUND: Research for ontology evaluation is scarce. If biomedical ontological
datasets and knowledgebases are to be widely used, there needs to be quality
control and evaluation for the content and structure of the ontology. This paper
introduces how to effectively utilize a semiotic-inspired approach to ontology
evaluation, specifically towards drug-related ontologies hosted on the National
Center for Biomedical Ontology BioPortal. RESULTS: Using the semiotic-based
evaluation framework for drug-based ontologies, we adjusted the quality metrics
based on the semiotic features of drug ontologies. Then, we compared the quality
scores before and after tailoring. The scores revealed a more precise measurement
and a closer distribution compared to the before-tailoring. CONCLUSION: The
results of this study reveal that a tailored semiotic evaluation produced a more
meaningful and accurate assessment of drug-based ontologies, lending to the
possible usefulness of semiotics in ontology evaluation.
