Workshop on the Relationship Ontology

The National Center for Biomedical Ontology will host a two-day workshop focused on the relationship between terms (classes) in ontologies.

Guidelines and Goals

  • Our over-arching guiding principle is to keep the meeting biologist driven. This means that any logical theories discussed must be kept:
    • simple
    • example-driven
    • expressed in a clear, consistent symbol-free syntax
  • The goals of this workshop are to develop the content of the relationship ontology. By the end of the meeting we hope to complete all of the following:
    • All outstanding items on the request tracking system are solved
    • All relations in ro_proposed are "blessed" and move into RO proper
    • A release of the cross-product (xp) files is generated
    • We will produce a new release of the RO

Preparation

  • The leader of each session topic should be prepared to provide a summary of the issues involved and the available choices to be decided upon
  • Leaders should recommend papers to read in preparation and send out PDFs for CS folks and biologistsd
  • Nomi Harris and Chris Mungall are working to ensure that OBO-Edit2 will be fit to use during the workshop so that we can use it to immediately modify the RO

Agenda: 8:00AM-5:30PM Monday, May 19th 2008

General (Barry/Chris)

  • review of principles
    • all-some(time) (Barry)
  • review of website, tracker (Chris)
    • process for adding terms
  • review of current primary representation in .obo, .owl conversion (Chris)
  • ID policy (BFO), ontology lifecycle issues etc
  • cross-products

Development and anatomy (DavidOS)

  • stages and temporal relations
    • DavidOS/Fabian
    • Interval calculus
    • ZFA stages use case: start, end
  • develops_from (Melissa)
  • relations from CARO paper (Fabian)
  • review biological_process_xp_cell (Chris/MikeB)
  • replaced_by - endochondral bone replaces cartilege (Wasila)
  • agent_in - is it valid? "heart process" example - DavidH/Chris

Biological qualities and phenotypes (Chris)

  • lacks_part (Werner)
  • inheres_in
    • relational qualities
      • towards relation
      • relational qualities and relations - what's the difference. lacks_part example
  • relations between qualities, comparisons and abnormality

Spatial relations (Melissa/Suzi)

  • surrounded_by
  • overlaps - bone + joint use case (Melissa)
  • connected_to - axon tracts and neuropil (fiat binary)
  • attached_to - bone + bone use case (Melissa)
  • RCC8 - can we just import directly?
  • bona fide vs fiat - when does it matter
  • spatial.obo

Regulation (David/Tanya/Chris)

Agenda: 8:00AM-3:30PM Tuesday, May 20th 2008

Evolutionary (Melissa & Wasila)

  • homologous_to & evo_derives_from

Biochemical (Mike B)

  • pathways (BioPAX-OBO, AlanR)
  • review bp_xp_chebi (Bada)

Epistemic (Larry)

  • supported_by et al

Logical/representation issues

  • FOL representations of RO (Thom & Fabian)
  • RO and BFO
  • OBO and OWL issues (Alan, Chris, Nigam)
  • instance vs type level; punning vs separate IDs
  • the time issue. OWL representation (Alan)
  • ternary relations in RO: DavidS's use case (DavidOS/Chris)
  • Erick's list of meta-relations
  • idiosyncratic relations in the FMA (Suzi/Nigam)

Logistics

  • If you need advice or want to talk to someone regarding logistics, email Kathy Thomas and mention the Relation Ontology expert meeting in May.
