From Genotype to Phenotype: Linking Bioinformatics and Medical Informatics Ontologies

摘要

A small group of around 40 people came together at the Chancellors Conference Centre in Manchester for the Ontologies Workshop, chaired by Alan Rector andRobert Stevens. The workshop was, rather strangely, spread over 2 half days. Inhindsight, this programme worked very well as it gave people the opportunityto chat over a drink on the Saturday evening and share ideas, before launchinginto the second half on the following day. The participants were from variouswalks of life, all with a common interest in finding out more about ontologiesand promoting collaborations between the medical informatics and bioinformaticsontology communities.
