Signs, Symptoms and Findings: First Steps Toward an Ontology of Clinical Phenotypes

Workshop organized by:

Richard Scheuermann, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas

Barry Smith, National Center for Biomedical Ontology / University at Buffalo


Sponsored by:

University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) Program

National Center for Biomedical Ontology (NCBO)

Lead Horse Technologies, Inc.


Date:

September 3-4, 2008


Venue:

Dallas/Fort Worth Airport Marriott [1].

  • To take advantage of discounted rate at the conference hotel, guest room reservations must be secured no later than August 15. See Workshop registration form for further details.
  • There is no participation fee. Continental breakfast and refreshments will be provided to all registered participants at no cost.

This workshop is funded by the United States National Institutes of Health (NIH) through the NIH Roadmap for Medical Research, Grant 1 U54 HG004028, with support from the Clinical and Translational Science Award (1 U54 RR023468) and the Bioinformatics Integration Support Contract (1 N01 AI40076).

Information on the National Centers for Biomedical Computing can be found at: [2].

Overview

The aims of clinical and translational research are to achieve a better understanding of the pathogenesis of human disease in order to develop effective diagnostic, therapeutic and prevention strategies. Biomedical informatics can play an important role in supporting this research by facilitating the management, integration, analysis and exchange of data derived from and related to the research problems being studied. A key aspect of this support is to bring clarity, rigor and formalism to the representation of

1. disease initiation, progression, pathogenesis, signs, symptoms, assessments, clinical and laboratory findings, disease diagnosis, treatment, treatment response and outcome, and
2. the interrelations between these distinct entities both in patient management and in clinical research,

thus allowing the data to be more readily retrievable and shareable, and more able to serve in the support of algorithmic reasoning.

Goals

The goals of the workshop are:

  • to utilize consistent ontological design and development principles to describe disease signs and symptoms, clinical and laboratory findings, and their interrelations.
  • to delineate the roles that signs, symptoms and findings play in both clinical patient management and in clinical research.
  • to develop a clear understanding and representation of the distinction between clinical and pre-clinical manifestations of signs, symptoms and findings.
  • to take first steps towards harmonizing the ontological representation of disease signs and symptoms and clinical and laboratory findings with existing and emerging standards in knowledge representation from the health informatics and bioinformatics communities
  • to explore incorporation of the results of this work into the CTSA Human Studies Metadata Repository framework
