    Ontologies for early detection of the Alzheimer Disease and other Neurodegenerative Diseases
    (Springer, 2019) Gómez-Valades Batanero, Alba; Martínez Tomás, Rafael; Rincón Zamorano, Mariano
    Nowadays technologies allow an exponential generation of biomedical data, which must be indexed according to some standard criteria to be useful to the scientific and medical community, being neurology one of the areas in which the standardization is more necessary. Ontologies have been highlighted as one of the best options, with their capability of homogenise information, allowing their integration with other kind of information, and the inference of new information based on the data that is stored. We analyse and compare the approaches taken by different research groups inside the area of the Alzheimer’s disease, and the ontologies they developed with the objective of providing a common framework to standardize information, data recovery or as a part of an expert system. However, to make this approach work the ontologies must be maintained over the time, a critical point which is not been followed by any of the ontologies reviewed.

    Integrative Base Ontology for the Research Analysis of Alzheimer’s Disease-Related Mild Cognitive Impairment
    (Frontiers, 2021-02-04) Gómez-Valades Batanero, Alba; Martínez Tomás, Rafael; Rincón Zamorano, Mariano
    Early detection of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) has become a priority in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) research, as it is a transitional phase between normal aging and dementia. However, information on MCI and AD is scattered across different formats and standards generated by different technologies, making it difficult to work with them manually. Ontologies have emerged as a solution to this problem due to their capacity for homogenization and consensus in the representation and reuse of data. In this context, an ontology that integrates the four main domains of neurodegenerative diseases, diagnostic tests, cognitive functions, and brain areas will be of great use in research. Here, we introduce the first approach to this ontology, the Neurocognitive Integrated Ontology (NIO), which integrates the knowledge regarding neuropsychological tests (NT), AD, cognitive functions, and brain areas. This ontology enables interoperability and facilitates access to data by integrating dispersed knowledge across different disciplines, rendering it useful for other research groups. To ensure the stability and reusability of NIO, the ontology was developed following the ontology-building life cycle, integrating and expanding terms from four different reference ontologies. The usefulness of this ontology was validated through use-case scenarios.
