GOHSE: Ontology driven linking of biology resources

We describe the GOHSE system, an application to support browsing of biology resources. The Conceptual Open Hypermedia Service (COHSE) system enhances web resources through the dynamic addition of hypertext links. These links are derived through the use of an ontology and associated lexicon along with a mapping from concepts to possible link targets. GOHSE applies COHSE to Bioinformatics, using the Gene Ontology (GO) as an ontology and associated keyword mappings and GO associations as link targets. The resulting demonstrator provides both glossary functionality and the possibility of building knowledge based hypertext structures linking bioinformatics resources.
