Schedule: Tuesday, April 24, 9:30am-5:30pm

9:30am Registration and Coffee

10:30am Foundations of Biomedical Ontology (Barry Smith)

What is an ontology and what is it useful for?
The problem of data silos
Linked Open Data, Semantic Web, OBO vs. OWL, Protégé, and other basics
NIH mandates for sharing and reuse of research data
Examples of Biomedical Ontologies
  • Gene Ontology (GO)
  • Ontology for General Medical Science (OGMS)
  • Infectious Disease Ontology (IDO)
  • Mental and Neurological Disease Ontologies

Slides: Smith

12:00 pm Lunch Break

1:00 pm Examples of Research Done with NCBO Technology (Nigam Shah and Rob Wynden)

Slides: Shah

Examples of ontology-driven analyses for drug-safety
We will discuss the applications of an ontology-based annotation workflow to 9.5 million clinical documents--from the electronic health records of approximately one million adult patients from the STRIDE Clinical Data Warehouse, part of Stanford's CTSA Informatics platform--to identify statistically significant patterns of drug use and to conduct drug safety surveillance. We will discuss how drug–disease co-occurrences and the temporal ordering of drugs and disease mentions in clinical notes can be examined for statistical enrichment and used to detect potential adverse events.
Examples of data integration using NCBO BioPortal
Discussion and demo of the Health Ontology Mapper

2:30pm Refreshment Break

3:00pm Overview of Uses of NCBO Technology for Building Ontology Communities (Nigam Shah) Slides: Shah

(1) Potential CTSA use cases
(2) Examples of use of NCBO services for data retrieval, integration and reasoning
(3) Web Services and BioPortal
(4) Using NCBO Technology in your project

4:00 pm [http://ontology.buffalo.edu/smith/ppt/CTS-Ontology_2012/Modularity.pptx Creating the CTSA Ontology Landscape (Barry Smith, Alex Diehl, Melissa Haendel)

This session is designed to identify elements of a CTSA ontology coordination strategy to be discussed on April 26, drawing on existing ontology efforts within the CTSA Consortium, including ontology coordination efforts such as:
Open Biomedical Ontologies (OBO) Foundry
Ontology for General Medical Science
NIF Standard Ontologies
CTSAConnect

Slides: Smith

This tutorial will provide participants with an understanding of how ontologies and terminologies are used in a variety of contexts in clinical and translational research.

By the end of the tutorial, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the biomedical ontology landscape
  • Understand the national infrastructure available for data annotation and knowledge management
  • Learn about NCBO supported Web service workflows for clinical and translational research
  • Understand the basics of biomedical ontology coordination

The National Center for Biomedical Ontology (NCBO) offers a range of Web services that allow users to access biomedical terminologies and ontologies, to use ontology terms to create pick lists and lexicons, to identify terms from controlled terminologies and ontologies that can describe and index the contents of online data sets (data annotation), and to recommend particular terminologies and ontologies that would be appropriate for data-annotation tasks. The tutorial will demonstrate the use of NCBO resources to facilitate tasks such as semantic data integration, information retrieval, structured data entry, and knowledge management. We will review example use cases for analyses using disease ontologies and for applying NCBO tools to compute the risk of having a myocardial infarction on taking Vioxx (rofecoxib) for Rheumatoid arthritis.
