General Information


PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS MEETING HAS BEEN POSTPONED. FURTHER DETAILS WILL FOLLOW


The National Center for Biomedical Ontology will host a two-day workshop focused on ontology and cellular networks.

Goals

The goals of this workshop are:

  • 1. to provide an introduction to the basic tools and methods of ontology
  • 2. to take the first steps towards developing an ontology of cellular networks.
  • 3. to address alternative approaches to ontology construction, with an emphasis on statistical/NLP vs. manual approaches
  • 4. to foster networking between ontology developer groups in the field of biomedical informatics

Agenda

Tuesday October 30

Morning

  • 8.30am Registration and Continental Breakfast

Ontology of Cellular Networks: Some Basic Ingredients

  • Moderator: Peter Lyster (NIH/NIGMS)
  • 9am Participant Self-Introductions
  • 9.15am Barry Smith (NCBO, Buffalo): What is a Network?
  • 9.45am Lindsay Cowell (Duke): The Cell Ontology

Afternoon

Constructing an Ontology of Cellular Networks

  • Moderator: Alan Ruttenberg (Science Commons / Semantic Web HCLSIG)

This will be an interactive hands-on session, in which data annotation needs will be presented, on the basis of which the attempt will be made to construct the beginnings of a cellular network ontology.
