The National Center for Biomedical Ontology will hold a CTSA Ontology Tutorial and Workshop in its series of training and dissemination events.

The Tutorial will provide an introduction to ontology technology focusing on the needs of CTSA clinical scientists.

The Workshop will provide an opportunity for those involved in ontology-related projects across the CTSA Consortium to review what has been achieved thus far and consider plans and strategies for enhanced coordination in the future.

Venue: Hilton Garden Inn Baltimore Airport

Date:

Tutorial: April 24, 2012
Workshop: April 25-26, 2012

Tutorial (Tuesday, April 24)

Introduction to Biomedical Ontology for Non-Experts
Foundations of Biomedical Ontology
What is an ontology and what is it useful for?
The problem of data silos
NIH mandates for sharing and reuse of research data
Examples of biomedical ontologies:
  • Gene Ontology (GO)
  • Foundational Model of Anatomy (FMA)
  • Infectious Disease Ontology (IDO)
Ontology Technology
An Introduction to the Semantic Web and the Web Ontology Language (OWL)
Using ontologies for data retrieval, integration and reasoning
Success stories

Workshop (Wednesday, April 25)

Major Ontology Initiatives within the CTSA Consortium
Chris Chute (Mayo): Data Governance and Normalization within the Mayo Clinic Enterprise
Melissa Haendel (Oregon) and Jon Corson-Rikert (Cornell): eagle-i and VIVO Ontology Initiatives
Jessica Tenenbaum (Duke): Remarks on Genetics Ontologies 
William Hogan (Arkansas) and Werner Ceusters (Buffalo): Referent Tracking and Demographic Data Ontology
Shawn Murphy (Partners): i2b2-Specific Ontologies
Richard Scheuermann and Lindsay Cowell (Dallas): NLP-Based Mapping of Textbook Pathology to Ontology for General Medical Science (OGMS)

Next Steps
How can we measure the value brought by ontology-based approaches?
How can we ensure high-quality and high-value approaches?
How can we promote a consistent approach across the CTSA consortium?
