Fellow Bio-Ontologist:

I would like to invite you to the Second Annual Bio-Ontologist Meeting (Bio-Ontologies 99), on August 5th in Heidelberg, Germany. This is immediately before ISMB-99  August 6-10 in Heidelberg. Last year's kick-off meeting was a great success, and was a clear indication of the general interest and support people had for Ontologies in the life sciences. The goal of this consortium is the identification and promotion of a practical set of technologies that will aid in the knowledge management and exchange of concepts and representations in the life sciences. This meeting will focus on current issues and activities that are described in more details below:

Purpose and Scope

 

Many in the group have been active since our last meeting and an agenda is being planned that will include the work currently being done in the following areas:

We would like to invite others to present their work and views on both uses and  modeling of biological ontologies. Please submit abstracts for short talks or posters by July 1, 1999, to Eric Neumann, PhD. of NetGenics, Inc or Robin A. McEntire of SmithKline Beechman.

Some intended results of the meeting are:

Facilities



The workshop will be held at the Marriott in Heidelberg which is one of the participating ISMB hotels and facilities.
