This trend is particularly palpable in > biology, where an avalanche of available data requires new > technologies for search, integration, and analysis. Work in > biomedical ontology has largely been stimulated from the ground up, > where the pressing needs of small groups of scientists have spawned > a large cottage industry of pragmatic ontology developers. The > National Center for Biomedical Ontology, one of the seven national > centers for biomedical computing recently created under the NIH > Roadmap, has been created to help move this cottage industry into > the industrial age. In this talk, I will discuss the rise of > ontologies in biology in the context of e-science, the challenges > of organizing the cottage industry into a coherent work force, and > some of the opportunities afforded by the representation and > dissemination of scientific knowledge in machine-processable form. > > > ***Parking is available in the 52 Oxford Street Garage.
