The [http://ncbo.us National Center for Biomedical Ontology] will host a two-day workshop focused on the relationship between terms (classes) in ontologies.
 
  
The goals of this workshop are to develop the content of the relationship ontology. In particular we will discuss these areas:

There is no formal agenda. We will simply prioritize the above items and move through them one by one.
+
== Guidelines and Goals ==
  
== Dates ==
+
* Our over-arching guiding principle is to keep the Relations Ontology biology driven. This means that any relations proposed must be kept:
 +
** simple, with well-thought out definitions
 +
** example-driven, that is an instance-level definition must exist (see RO paper)
 +
** expressed in a clear, consistent symbol-free syntax
  
'''Monday and Tuesday, May 19-20, 2008'''
+
* 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
  
== Logistics ==
+
''Note: At least Alan Ruttenberg has expressed that these goals are too much to achieve in the time we have''
 +
 
 +
== 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

Workshop on the Relationship Ontology

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

Minutes, Notes and Presentation

Guidelines and Goals

  • Our over-arching guiding principle is to keep the Relations Ontology biology driven. This means that any relations proposed must be kept:
    • simple, with well-thought out definitions
    • example-driven, that is an instance-level definition must exist (see RO paper)
    • 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

Note: At least Alan Ruttenberg has expressed that these goals are too much to achieve in the time we have

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
