News

June 17, 2014: Ontology for Biomedical Investigations a key component of standards for data about pathogen/vector genome sequences.

Recommendations on Community-based Standards

The CTSOG submitted a response [1] to a request for comments on a workshop report [2] on community-based standards.

Defining Ontology

A past initiative of the CTSOG was to define the subject matter of the CTSOG, that is, to address the question: what is it that we as a group are promoting? A working group generated a white paper that answers the question.

History

Following discussion at the Clinical and Translational Science Ontology Workshop held in Buffalo, NY in April, 2012, a group of individuals applied to create the CTSOG as an affinity group in the Informatics Key Function Committee (IKFC) of the CTSA Consortium (see Announcing Clinical and Translational Science Ontology Affinity Group). This group sponsored a second face-to-face meeting, the CTSA Ontology Workshop, in Orlando in February, 2013. In January, 2014 however, the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences restructured the governance of the Consortium. Although the IKFC no longer exists, the Ontology Group continued on without Consortium support, changing its name to leave out the word 'affinity'.

See the original elevator pitch and operations proposal for the formation of the group.
