Hello All!
 
The National Center for Biomedical Ontology is resuming its online Seminar
Series on Wednesday, January 21 at 10am PST. This series aims to showcase
new projects, technologies and ideas in biomedical ontology by featuring the
work of a different collaborator each session. It is a webinar held online,
and as such is open to anyone interested, regardless of location or
affiliation. 

Below is Information on how to join next week¹s online meeting and
accompanying teleconference. The seminar, Exploring and Navigating
Ontologies through BioPortal, will be presented by Dr. Margaret-Anne Storey,

The sponsoring organization, the National Center for Biomedical Ontology
(http://www.bioontology.org), is a consortium of leading biologists,
clinicians, informaticians, and ontologists who develop innovative
technology and methods allowing scientists to create, disseminate, and
manage biomedical information and knowledge in machine-processable form.

We hope to see you there.
 
 
Title: Exploring and Navigating Ontologies through BioPortal
 
Abstract: This seminar will cover ongoing projects at the University of
Victoria to improve cognitive support for user navigation of ontologies. As
a follow-up to the NCBO's recent project meeting in December at Stanford
University, the presenter will demonstrate specific aspects of the
visualization tools we have developed for browsing ontologies, for creating
ontology mappings and for searching clinical trials.
Suggestions and discussion on how these tools could be further improved or
tailored to specific needs will be welcome during the presentation.
