Ontologies are being used nowadays in many areas, including bioinformatics. One
of the issues in ontology research is the aligning and merging of ontologies. Tools
have been developed for ontology merging, but they have not been evaluated for
their use in bioinformatics. In this paper we evaluate two of the most well-known
ontology merging tools with a bioinformatics perspective. As test ontologies we
have used Gene Ontology and Signal-Ontology.
