+# SEM-DISNET
+ 
+## Purpose and scope
+ 
+The purpose of the SEM-DISNET ontology is to develop a semantic knowledge base around the biomedical concepts related to diseases present in DISNET
+database. This ontology would represent the information gathered in the DISNET4 database about biomedical entities and the associations between them. 
+ 
+The scope or range of SEM-DISNET included:
+- **Biomedical concepts:** Disease, drug, gene, protein, target, variant, pathway, organism, phenotype.  
+- **Associations of concepts:** Relationships between two concepts, whereas therapeutic, marker, interaction, among others.  
+   
+## Vocabulary development
+
+This ontology is developed following the guidelines provided by the [LOT methodology](https://lot.linkeddata.es/). 
+
+## Requirements
+
+The requirements used to validate the ontology were extracted from:
+
+
+
+
+## Ontology model
+
+SEM-DISNET ontology diagram shows an overview of the Classes and their principal attributes, as well as the principal Object Properties. For a better
+visualization, the different parts of the diagram can be found disaggregated [here](diagrams/).
+
+![sem-disnet diagram](diagrams/SEM-DISNET_diagram.png)
+
+## Ontology (OWL)
+
+The encoded ontology can be found [here](ontology/SEM-DISNET_ontology.owl).
+
+## Documentation
+
+SEM-DISNET Documentation was generated using [WIDOCO](https://github.com/oeg-upm/Widoco) software. 
+
+The whole documentation can be found [here](SEM-DISNET%20Documentation/). This folder includes:
+- **OOPS! Evaluation**: folder with the HTML page generated by [OOPS!](https://github.com/oeg-upm/oops-plugin) for the evaluation of the ontology.
+- **Provenance**: folder with the provenance section of the documentation.
+- **Resources**: folder with the different resources.
+- Documentation principal HTML page can be found [here](SEM-DISNET%20Documentation/index-en.html)
+- Encoded ontology in different formats.
