Exploratory workshop: Connecting BioPAX to other Biomedical Ontologies
common format for representation and exchange of biomolecular
pathways.
As part of the on-going BioPAX development, we will be having a two
well known scholar of biomedical ontologies.
Workshop Goals:
- Learn about the philosophy and method behing the Open Biomedical
Ontologies.
- Review and discuss the current BioPAX ontology and upcoming issues
from this perspective.
- Report back to the BioPAX community on what we learn.
Participation open to those with an interest in biological knowledge
representation, pathway and molecular interaction databases, and
semantic web applications for the life sciences. Note that space is
limited, and preference may be given to those who register earlier.
