THIS MEETING IS NOW CLOSED TO FURTHER PARTICIPANTS
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.
- 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 focus on the creation and review of a draft Biomedical Image Ontology and explore how ontology can contribute to the coordination of research across the CTSA consortium with a special reference to digital histopathology imaging.

Wednesday, June 25
Morning
- 8:30 Breakfast
- 9:00 Practical sessions devoted to creating a strategy to promote comparability and queryability of biomedical image data in general and digital pathology imaging data in particular
Sessions will include:
- Alan Ruttenberg: Queryathon
- This session is targeted to participants with imaging data. The goal is to build a framework which will allow us to assess progress on building an imaging ontology by providing a list of the types of questions which the ontology will allow us to find answers for. These should be questions for which you think your data suffice to provide answers, but which cannot be effectively asked with current approaches. Suggested questions should be sent in advance to [1].
- Barry Smith: An Ontology Framework for Biomedical Imaging
- Metin N. Gurcan, Anant Madabhushi and John Tomaszewski: Histopathological Image Analysis (HIMA) and Ontology
- 10:30-10:45 Break
- William Hogan: Biobanking and Digital Pathology: How to Make Ontologies that Work Together
- Werner Ceusters: Referent Tracking: How to Use Ontologies to Deal with Instance Data
- 12:00 Lunch
Afternoon
- 13:00 Hackathon: Building an Ontology for Digital Pathology
16:00 Close
