Revision as of 14:59, 29 March 2008
The National Center for Biomedical Ontology and the University at Buffalo Department of Philosophy are sponsoring a two-day training event to be held in Buffalo, NY on 12-13 April, 2008.
This course is designed to provide a basic introduction to ontology with special reference to applications in the field of biomedical research. It will provide an introductory survey of methods and an overview of current developments and best practices in ontology in the life sciences. No prior knowledge of ontology is presupposed. All sessions will be highly interactive and designed to be of interest to both philosophers and those with a background in medicine or biology.
