Background

A two-day IDO workshop for invited participants will be held on December 8-9, 2010. Venue: Baltimore Airport Hilton. This meeting is being organized as part of the series of Dissemination Workshops organized under the auspices of the National Center for Biomedical Ontology (NCBO).

The Infectious Disease Ontology (IDO) is a general terminology, taxonomy, and logical representation of entities relevant to all infectious diseases. IDO is already being applied through disease-specific IDO extensions to the study of seven diseases, including diseases of bacterial, viral, and eukaryotic origin.

Recently, the IDO has been adopted by the virus and bacterial Bioinformatics Resource Centers (BRCs) established by the NIAID to serve integration of a broad array of -omics, epidemiological and clinical data.

For more information about IDO and its sub-domain extensions especially in the areas of HIV, influenza, Malaria, and Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia. See http://www.infectiousdiseaseontology.org.

This NCBO Workshop on the Infectious Disease Ontology is funded by the United States National Institutes of Health through the NIH Roadmap for Medical Research, Grant 1 U54 HG004028. Its content is solely the responsibility of the organizers and presenters and does not necessarily represent the official views of the National Human Genome Research Institute or the National Institutes of Health. Information on the National Centers for Biomedical Computing can be found at http://nihroadmap.nih.gov/bioinformatics.

Goals of the Meeting

  • The primary goal of this meeting is to explore the potential benefits of using the IDO Infectious Disease Ontology as a controlled vocabulary for promoting consistency in the ways infectious disease data are described. IDO provides both a vocabulary of terms and a set of precise definitions that have been thoroughly reviewed for biological accuracy and logical consistency.
  • We will explore the benefits of the IDO controlled vocabulary, especially in advancing the work of the Bioinformatics Resource Centers, in areas such as:
clinical data integration
text and data mining
genetic susceptibility to infectious disease
disease surveillance
plant infectious disease
  • The meeting will also address relations between IDO and other parallel initiatives, including PRIME, DebugIT, and the various IDO extension ontologies.
  • To address these goals, speakers are asked to address the following points
    • The goals of their project
biological questions for research projects
content and functions for computational resource projects
    • The tasks for which terminologies are needed
    • The terminologies currently being used
brief description of any terminologies developed specifically for the project
description of the ways in which current terminologies are inadequate for the project’s needs

New Pre-Release Version of IDO

Following the workshop, we will release a new version of IDO. This version has only minor differences from the version released in May 2010 with respect to terms, definitions, and hierarchy. The primary difference is in the addition of OWL DL restrictions for many terms. This new version of IDO will be presented at the workshop and can be accessed via the following PURLs:

As always, comments, criticisms, and term requests are welcome. Please submit them on the issue tracker (http://code.google.com/p/infectious-disease-ontology/), email the discussion list (http://groups.google.com/group/ido-discuss), or email them directly to Lindsay Cowell (lindsay DOT cowell AT utsouthwestern DOT edu).
