| '''Course Description'''
| |
| | |
| This course provides an introduction to biomedical ontology. It will review how data and information are generated through biological and biomedical experiments and through patient care, and show how ontologies are used in accessing, maintaining and exploiting the results. We will describe how biomedical ontologies are developed and evaluated and provide a comparative critical analysis of the principal current ontology resources. We will also review the major theories, methods and tools for the development of ontologies, and illustrate how these are being used in different areas of biomedical research and healthcare. On completion of this course students will have a thorough understanding of strategies to manage and exploit biomedical data; they will have a knowledge of categorization, of the philosophy of experimentation, of the philosophy of medicine, and of computer-based reasoning with data.

| All students will be required to take an active part in class discussions throughout the semester and to prepare a paper on some relevant topic. The paper should be submitted in a draft version on or before October 31, and in final form on or before December 5. A powerpoint version will be presented in class in one or other of the two closing sessions.

| Your grade will be determined in three equal portions deriving from:
| |
| :1. class participation (2.5% per class attended)
| |
| :2. paper (3000 words; deadline for draft: March 29; deadline for final version: May 3)
| |
| :3. class presentation (graded according to quality of powerpoint slides, quality of delivery, and quality of response to questions)
