This is immediately before ISMB-99 August 6-10, which will also be held 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 developing and using 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. For more information see the bio-ontology web-site below. Eric Neumann, Ph.D. Director Research NetGenics, Inc.

The Molecular Biology Ontology Working Group

Updated 5-24-99

About this site:
This web site was put in place to follow up from the Ontologies for Molecular Biology Workshop, which took place at ISMB '98 in Montreal. The site and mailing list have been set up primarily for the 50-odd attendees, to address the need for continued dialogue on standards and goals for a group effort on ontologies for molecular biology.

Check back soon for an updated documents list and more web site updates!

Bio-Ontologies '99 Meeting, August 5,1999
 Please read: A call for participation in the next Bio-Ontologies working group meeting at ISMB '99 in Germany. Click here for more information.

Core Development Group Meeting, March 29,1999
 Following the meeting at the Computational Genomics conference (see above), the core of active group participants have worked to evaluate the primary representation languages/environments, Ontolingua and OML (selected after the last meeting). A meeting was held on March 29 at Pangea to share results and discuss next steps for the group. Click here to see the meeting minutes.

Conference Meeting Nov. 4, 1998th
Last year, in response to the call for participation in the the Ontologies for Molecular Biology Working Group, the core group met after the Second Annual Conference on Computational Genomics (http://www.tigr.org/cet/gss/cg/index.html) on Nov. 4th, 1998. Click here for more details.

FTP:
An FTP site is running at ftp://smi.stanford.edu/pub/bio-ontology/ and is currently EMPTY pending submissions from individuals in this group. Material should be deposited in the subdirectory "incoming" (for security reasons). Please submit zipped files containing the directory structure appropriate to the component files. They will then be placed into the bio-ontology directory. All material should be supplied by the owner, and accompanied by a README with property and usage information.

Mailing List:
The mailing list membership is composed primarily of the original ontology workshop attendees, but is not closed. Posts to the group can only be made by members. If you have an interest in this topic and would like to be added to the list, please send a request to nfa@smi.stanford.edu.
