Abstract

Neuroscience is a vast field of study, important for its role in human body and brain disorders. Neuroscientists tend to ask complicated questions that need a complex set of actions and multiple resources. A question resolution approach in this field should be able to address these issues. This study uses an ontology-based approach and creates codes that mirror the internal structure of questions, called templates, to translate questions to machine-understandable language. This research uses ontologies to expand queries, disambiguate terms, integrate resources, explore brain structures and create templates.
