(III) Problems of Disease Ontologies: The medical perspective (Moderator: Werner Ceusters)
(IV) The next steps: Moderated Discussion (Moderatrix: Suzanna Lewis)
Requests for participation are welcome. Please send a brief statement of your expertise, and of the reasons for your interest in the topic of disease ontology, to Fabian Neuhaus.
