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
