<u>Day 1</u>


*demonstrate to bench immunologists that their nomenclature schemes need to evolve to support enhanced discoverability and reusability (thus use of standards and ontologies)
*provide arguments and success stories that will help to achieve buy-in from bench immunologists as to the importance of standards and ontologies
*provide examples of ontology content and of good practice use of ontologies which will help immunologists to rationalize their nomenclature and help them understand how ontologies are applied
Sept 5 – restricted meeting – ImmPort and invitees only
Goals of this meeting:
go through ontological process
address immunology science issues, e.g.,
address CyTOF --> CL mapping
how to deal with PPCs in an ontological manner, e.g., using a code to handle associated with protocol from which PPC was identified
Critical attendance:
people from CyTOF world

The goal of this meeting is to show how work in standards and ontologies can support NIAID-DAIT funded information-driven science. We will work with immunologists who have data which pose special problems for handling in a resource such as ImmPort, and develop  strategies to address these problems.

Revision as of 17:06, 19 June 2013

Where: Stanford University

When: September 4-5, 2013

Audience: The conference is divided into two parts. Day 1 is intended for all those engaged in information-driven immunology research who have an interest in ontology and data standardization; Day 2 is intended also to provide training for those interested in acquiring skills needed for working with ontologies to solve specific problems.

Participation: There is a limited number of places available for this meeting. If you are interested in attending please contact Barry Smith as soon as possible.


Goals

Day 1

  • demonstrate to bench immunologists that their nomenclature schemes need to evolve to support enhanced discoverability and reusability (thus use of standards and ontologies)
  • provide arguments and success stories that will help to achieve buy-in from bench immunologists as to the importance of standards and ontologies
  • provide examples of ontology content and of good practice use of ontologies which will help immunologists to rationalize their nomenclature and help them understand how ontologies are applied

Sept 5 – restricted meeting – ImmPort and invitees only

Goals of this meeting: go through ontological process address immunology science issues, e.g., address CyTOF --> CL mapping how to deal with PPCs in an ontological manner, e.g., using a code to handle associated with protocol from which PPC was identified Critical attendance: people from CyTOF world Draft schedule is here: http://ncorwiki.buffalo.edu/index.php/ImmPort_Ontology_Conference The goal of this meeting is to show how work in standards and ontologies can support NIAID-DAIT funded information-driven science. We will work with immunologists who have data which pose special problems for handling in a resource such as ImmPort, and develop strategies to address these problems.

Subgoals

  • providing examples of success stories in the use of standards and ontologies to support immunological research
  • identifying obstacles to the sharing of immunology research data and building strategies to overcome them
  • identifying the ontology and data standardization needs of DAIT-funded experimental scientists
  • provide an overview of ontology resources of particular interest to the ImmPort / HIPC and related communities
  • identifying strategies for data retrieval based on natural language processing
