This page was initially created to support the ontology work of the Immunology Database and Analysis Portal ([https://immport.niaid.nih.gov/ ImmPort]) portal within the framework of the Bioinformatics Integration Support Contract ([https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&mode=form&id=67aa839f87c97f95f7531ba9d86f67b5&tab=core&_cview=1 BISC]), funded by the NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). ImmPort is designed to enable scientists to easily access and exchange interoperable complex data sets to accelerate scientific discovery. It provides advanced information technology support in the production, analysis, archiving, and exchange of scientific data for the diverse community of life science researchers supported by NIAID. A summary of work so far is provided here:

'''8:30-10:00am Lecture'''


1. Introduction to biological ontology
See also '''[http://ncorwiki.buffalo.edu/index.php/ImmPort_Ontology_Conference ImmPort Ontology Conference]'''
:what is an ontology, how is it different from a controlled vocabulary, a computerized lexicon, and a data dictionary?


2. Overview of ontologies with content relevant to immunology
== Background ==
 
The huge plasticity of the immune response, the strong dependence upon the context in which it occurs and on physiological and pathological conditions, and the wide range of responses elicited, make immunology an especially challenging domain for data integration.  
 
The ontologies documented below are designed to enhance the degree to which immunology research results can be expressed in a consistent fashion across communities and disciplines, thus advancing not only the analysis and integration of data but also its discoverability by scientists who were not involved in its creation. In this way, they will contribute to the realization of the goals of ImmPort to accelerate a more collaborative and coordinated research environment and create an integrated database.  that broadens the usefulness of scientific data and advances hypothesis-driven and hypothesis-generating research, as well as the development of optimal methods for data collection, storage, exchange and interoperability.
 
The team of University at Buffalo ontologists with primary responsibility for this work includes:

ImmPort

This page was initially created to support the ontology work of the Immunology Database and Analysis Portal (ImmPort) portal within the framework of the Bioinformatics Integration Support Contract (BISC), funded by the NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). ImmPort is designed to enable scientists to easily access and exchange interoperable complex data sets to accelerate scientific discovery. It provides advanced information technology support in the production, analysis, archiving, and exchange of scientific data for the diverse community of life science researchers supported by NIAID. A summary of work so far is provided here:

ImmPort, toward repurposing of open access immunological assay data for translational and clinical research

Background

The huge plasticity of the immune response, the strong dependence upon the context in which it occurs and on physiological and pathological conditions, and the wide range of responses elicited, make immunology an especially challenging domain for data integration.

The ontologies documented below are designed to enhance the degree to which immunology research results can be expressed in a consistent fashion across communities and disciplines, thus advancing not only the analysis and integration of data but also its discoverability by scientists who were not involved in its creation. In this way, they will contribute to the realization of the goals of ImmPort to accelerate a more collaborative and coordinated research environment and create an integrated database. that broadens the usefulness of scientific data and advances hypothesis-driven and hypothesis-generating research, as well as the development of optimal methods for data collection, storage, exchange and interoperability.

The team of University at Buffalo ontologists with primary responsibility for this work includes:

  • Barry Smith, Professor of Philosophy, Neurology and Computer Science and Director of the National Center for Ontological Research.
  • Alexander Diehl, UB Department of Neurology
  • Alan Ruttenberg, UB Department of Oral Biology.
