Afternoon Practical Session: Building Small Ontologies in the Immunological Domain

1:00pm Establish target areas of interest (drawing on the work initiated in the 8:30am session above). Participants will suggest possible target areas, expanding this list in light of their own areas of interest and expertise.

Adaptive immunity
Immune tolerance
Inflammation
Adaptive immunity
Innate immunity
Mucosal immunity
Transplantation immunology /MHC
Tumor microenvironment / Cancer
Virology

(These are all areas for which a suitable single ontology does not already exist. Some of the items are taken from the DAIT list here.)

1:10 Participants will be divided into corresponding breakout groups. The task of each group will be to create a workplan for building an ontology (or ontologies) for their selected area. The workplan will consist minimally of

i. a list of main terms in their selected area -- to create this list participants can use the terminological resources they use in their own work or any other source

Two samples:

allergy and allergic disease
soluble proteins (including cytokines and chemokines) relevant to the work of HIPC]
ii. a list of the main ontologies they would harvest as starting points; in identifying these ontologies participants should experiment with two or more of the ontology portals listed below

Each group should select a reporter, who will present the results of the group's work, and a recorder, who will take notes of the discussions and have control of the powerpoint slides documenting the results of these discussions.

2:20 Presentation of results: Each group is required to produce at least 4 slides summarizing the results of their work.

Slide 1: Title and author list
Slide 2: Quick comparison of the experience of using the 4 ontology browsers listed above; optional report on experience using MeSH
Slide 3: List of the principal ontologies selected to be used as sources / starting points for development of the needed ontology
Slide 4: List of the main terms in the ontology (if possible with some rudimentary BFO organization)

Slides

2.50 Summation

Background Resources (will be reviewed in class)

Immunological Ontologies

Overview

Portals

1. The Open Biological and Biomedical Ontologies

2. Bioportal

3. Ontobee

4. EBI Ontology Lookup Service

5. MeSH
