The Provenir Ontology was used as upper level ontology to develop Parasite Experiment Ontology (PEO) for the NIH-funded T.cruzi Semantic Problem Solving Environment (SPSE) project. The PEO extends the classes and relationships in provenir ontology to model provenance information associated with experiment protocols for Gene Knockout (GKO), Strain Creation (SC), Microarray, and Proteome Analysis. These protocols consist of multiple sub-processes, which are modeled in PEO as different classes (Figure 1). The PEO forms schema to query semantically integrated parasite experimental datasets and databases using intuitive query processing tool, Cuebee.
