National Center for Biomedical Ontology
Additional recommended knowledge
Goal of the CenterThe goal of the Center is to support biomedical researchers in their knowledge-intensive work, by providing online tools and a Web portal enabling them to access, review, and integrate disparate information resources in all aspects of biomedical investigation and clinical practice. A major focus of their work involves the use of biomedical ontologies to aid in the management and analysis of data derived from complex experiments. Participating Institutions
Organization of the CenterThe Center is organized into six core components:
The computer-science research in Core 1 aims to deliver tools for accessing and unifying ontologies, and Core 2 will concentrate on creating tools for using these ontologies to annotate large biomedical data sets, enabling data-set analysis and integration. The Center seeks to achieve its objectives by advancing standards of good practice and by creating tools and theories that support a wide range of driving biological projects and collaborative research activities, and by training computational biologists, specialists in informatics, and computer scientists in the use of ontologies and of the Center's technologies in support of their research. Driving Biological ProjectsTwo Driving Biological Projects involve investigation of model-organism databases (Flybase and ZFIN), while the third involves analysis of data stored in TrialBank. National Centers for Biomedical ComputingThe Center is funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and is part of the network of National Centers for Biomedical Computing. See also
