This expanded annotation of AOPs allows computational reasoners to aid in both AOP development and applications. In addition, the incorporation of explicit biological objects will reduce the time required for converting a qualitative AOP description into a conceptual model that can support computational modeling. As high throughput genomics becomes a more important part of the high throughput toxicity testing landscape, the new approaches described here for annotating key events will also promote the visualization and analysis of genomics data in an AOP context.
