Workshop on Ontologies of Cellular Networks

General Information

The National Center for Biomedical Ontology will host a two-day workshop focused on ontologies of cellular networks.

Goals

The goals of this workshop are:

1. to provide an introduction to the basic tools and methods of ontology
2. to foster networking of, and enhanced coordination between, those groups already working on ontologies of cellular networks
3. to identify problems which must be solved if ontology methods are to be extended to represent biological mechanisms in greater detail
4. to promote further ontology development in this area with the goal of accelerating our ability to understand basic biological phenomena and to leverage experimental data
