Bare Beginnings of an Infectious Disease Ontology
At the recent Infectious Disease Ontology Workshop (see below), we began preliminary work on a draft infectious disease ontology. OBO edit and Protege OWL versions of the ontology are available for download. Please send comments and suggestions to ido@duke.edu.

Accessible data to test the ontology, existing ontologies of related interest can be found here: Toolbox
Infectious Disease Ontology Kick-off Workshop (September 19 - 20, 2007) and Meeting (September 21, 2007)
The Infectious Disease Ontology Workshop (see link below under "Past Meetings") was intended to be both a training workshop for participants and a forum through which to establish a community for development, maintenance, and use of the Infectious Disease Ontology (IDO).

Software Downloads
- Download the OBO-Edit ontology editor: http://oboedit.org/
- Download the Protege OWL ontology editor: http://protege.stanford.edu/download/download.html
- Protege OWL contains a very useful tutorial, you can access it by opening Protege OWL and looking under "Help"
- Download Pellet (a reasoner for OWL): http://pellet.owldl.com/
- The Protege developers have created a short, helpful guide to installing Pellet and making sure that Pellet is running in conjunction with Protege OWL: http://protege.stanford.edu/shortcourse/protege/200703/prepare.html
