Tutorial by Colin Batchelor (Royal Society of Chemistry)
Tuesday, July 21, 2009: 1-5p.m.
We provide an introduction to the development and use of chemistry ontology, with special focus on ChEBI (Chemical Entities of Biological Interest) and the Sequence Ontology.
Topics to be addressed will include:
- chemical entities as continuants
- the productivity of chemical nomenclature
- parts vs. structures vs. names
- the IUPAC nomenclature
- the past, present and future of the ChEBI ontology
- the Sequence Ontology
- reasoning with chemistry ontology
- extending ontology to chemical processes
- experimental methods in chemistry
Faculty
Colin Batchelor is team leader, Informatics Research and Development, at Royal Society of Chemistry Publishing in Cambridge, UK. He has a DPhil in physical and theoretical chemistry and is presently working on natural language processing and ontology development as applied to the chemical literature.
