Representing social and legal entities in the biomedical domain, co-located with International Conference on Biological Ontology & BioCreative
Bill Hogan
Social and legal entities such as roles, documents, claims, and obligations play a key role in healthcare and biomedical research. Information systems routinely manipulate data about these entities (and in some cases, these entities themselves). Making healthcare and research systems interoperable will therefore require standard ontologies of social entities.
You are invited to attend the ICBO 2016 Workshop: Representing social and legal entities in the biomedical domain, to be held August 1st, 2016 in Corvallis, Oregon. The workshop Web site has more details: http://icbo.cgrb.oregonstate.edu/node/28
The workshop will continue the development of our understanding of social ontology and ontological artifacts that capture it, which was begun at a workshop in Gainesville, Florida earlier this year. The talks range from the ontology of corporations and the roles they create, to the relationships between institutional roles and deontic roles in organizations, to the “ontology of the organigram”.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Sincerely,
Mathias Brochhausen
William Hogan
