General Information

The National Center for Biomedical Ontology will host a two-day workshop focused on the ontology of diseases on November 6-7, 2006 in Baltimore, MD.

The goals of the workshop are to promote sound, principles-based ontology construction and to raise the level of cooperation between people who work in this and related fields.
