Abstract
The amount of available information in molecular biology is vast, due to genome sequencing and gene expression chips. The structural, functional and evolutionary clues encoded in biological sequences have to be deciphered now. The combination of computer based information retrieval, biological ontologies, and the technique of ontological design patterns (ODPs) is expected to deliver tools to extract text based information, to represent terminological semantics and contexts, to uncover the implicit knowledge, and to adapt information to user's needs. The author's suggestion to define and apply ODPs addresses the challenge of accessing, managing, integrating and analysing molecular biological information. We need concepts and methodologies to structure and describe the static and dynamic properties of DNA sequence data or annotated information. (3 pages)
