Table 2 Example inferences about compiled vaccine classes using property chains in VaccO: the propagation of the a) immunization targets and b) vaccine strategies from the active ingredients to vaccines, and c) the definition of immunization targets interchangeably by pathogen and vaccine-preventable diseases
From: Alignment of vaccine codes using an ontology of vaccine descriptions
| Â | Available information | Property chain | Inferred information |
|---|---|---|---|
a) | v is-a Vaccine that has-ingredient I. I is-a Active-ingredient that imm.-against Flu. | has-ingred. \(\circ\) imm.-against \(\Rightarrow\) imm.-against. | v is-a Vaccine that imm.-against Flu. |
b) | v is-a Vaccine that has-ingredient I. I is-a Active-ingredient that has-strategy Inactivated. | has-ingred. \(\circ\) has-strategy \(\Rightarrow\) has-strategy. | v is-a Vaccine that has-strategy Inactivated. |
c) | v is-a Vaccine that imm.-against Hib. Hib is-a Pathogen that causes Cervical-cancer. | imm.-against \(\circ\) causes \(\Rightarrow\) imm.-against. | v is-a Vaccine that imm.-against Cervical cancer. |
