Ontology and Cellular Networks
General Information
The National Center for Biomedical Ontology will host a two-day workshop focused on ontology and cellular networks on October 30-31, 2007 in Newark, NJ.
Goals
The goals of this workshop are:
- 1. to provide an introduction to the basic tools and methods of ontology
- 2. to take the first steps towards developing an ontology of cellular networks.
- 3. to address alternative approaches to ontology construction, with an emphasis on statistical vs. manual approaches
- 4. to foster networking between ontology developer groups in the field of biomedical informatics
