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 1 will consist in a tutorial providing an introduction to biomedical imaging ontology.

- Day 2 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 3 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.

Workshop - Day 2: Wednesday, June 25 (Ellicott Room)

Morning

8:30 Continental 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
The goal of this session is to sketch a framework which will allow us to assess progress in building an imaging ontology by providing a list of the types of questions which the ontology will allow us to answer. These should be questions for which you think your data suffice to provide answers, but which cannot be effectively asked with current approaches. Questions sent in advance are welcome; please send to [1].
Metin N. Gurcan, Anant Madabhushi and John Tomaszewski: Histopathological Image Analysis (HIMA) and Ontology
10:30-10:45 Refreshment Break
William Hogan and Mathias Brochhausen: 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 Buffet

Afternoon

13:00 Hackathon: Building an Ontology for Digital Pathology
Facilitators: James Overton and Barry Smith
First draft image ontology based on the Ontology for Biomedical Investigations (OBI):
OWL File
XSL File
The scope of the ontology will be the entire domain of biomedical imaging, including Radiology, Neuro-imaging, and Histopathology; it should also include a branch relating to image-processing algorithms. However, we will focus primarily on populating the branch devoted to (quantitative) histopathology.
16:00 Close of Workshop

Possible starting points for ontology development

1. Quantitative Imaging Biomarker Ontology (QIBO)
Unfortunately QIBO contains no definitions. Suggested top-level mappings from QIBO to OBI/OBO are:
- Acquisition Device -> OBI:device
- Biological Intervention -> OBI:material processing
- Biological Target -> use relations instead of classes
- Biomarker Use -> ~IAO:objective specifications
- Imaging Agent -> ChEBI
- Imaging Agent Source of Emitted Energy -> energy terms need to be added to OBO
- Imaging Subject -> use relations instead of classes
- Imaging Technique -> OBI:assay
- Indicated Biology
- Biological Process -> GO
- Disease -> https://code.google.com/p/ogms/ OGMS], DOID
- Post-processing Algorithm -> OBI:data transformation
- Quantitative Imaging Biomarker -> ~OBI:measurement datum
2. OME Data Model
3. TBD

Sponsors

This meeting forms part of a series of ontology workshops sponsored by the NCBO. A precursor event in this series, devoted to the ontology of images, was held in 2006.
