Third Clinical and Translational Science Ontology Workshop

  • Tutorial: June 23, 2014
  • Workshop: June 24-25, 2014


Goals

The goal of this meeting is to advance discoverability, interoperability and combinability of biomedical imaging data. It consists of a tutorial providing an introduction to imaging ontology, followed by two days of presentation and discussion of major contributions to biomedical imaging in radiology and digital pathology. The meeting will include community breakout groups addressing specific communities, including the CTSA consortium.

- Day 0 of the workshop will consist in a tutorial providing an introduction to biomedical imaging ontology.

- Day 1 of the workshop will consist in an overview of major contributions to biomedical imaging in radiology and digital pathology with a view towards coordination and exchange of ideas.

- Day 2 will consist of a number of breakout groups addressing specific goals of their respective communities. One such group will focus on a draft Digital Pathology Image Ontology, which will be distributed to interested participants in advance. Another group will address the role of ontology in the coordination of research across the CTSA consortium.

The meeting will conclude with reports from the breakout groups and with a session devoted to future plans.

Examples of the types of subtopics to be addressed include:

Histopathological Image Analysis
Cell Image Ontologies; see also here.
Qualitative Imaging Biomarker Ontology
The Open Microscopy Environment (OME)
The Radiology Gamuts Ontology
Aperio ePathology
Ontology for Biomedical Investigations (OBI)
  • Space for this meeting is limited and intending participants are encouraged to write to Barry Smith as soon as possible.
