BIONT Goals

• Develop best practices around crucial questions
  related to creation and use of ontologies
• What is an ontology?
• How should one represent information in an
  ontology?
• Ontology lifecycle How should ontologies be
  created, used, accessed, maintained and evolved?
• Develop a use case spanning the Bench to Bedside
  Spectrum
• Demonstrate the feasibility and value proposition
  of using ontologies to integrate biomedical data
  in the context of the use case
• Develop best practices in the context of the use
  case

3
Work so Far

• Developed a use case for Parkinsons Disease
  spanning the Bench to Bedside Spectrum, from
  Biomedical Research to Clinical Practice.
• Developed a Seed Ontology for Parkinsons Disease
  based on the Cellular and Molecular Biologist
  Perspective
• Identification of pre-existing ontologies for
  cross-linking into the seed ontology

4
Collaboration Opportunities

• Collaboration with BIORDF task force on mapping
  ontologies to underlying biomedical data sources
  and provide a data integration solution to the
  Parkinsons Disease Use Case proposed by the
  BIONT task force
• Collaboration with ACPP task force on creating a
  healthcare domain ontology in the context of the
  following use cases
• Stroke and CABG use cases proposed by the ACPP
  Task Force
• Clinical and Neurological aspects of the
  Parkinsons Disease Use Case proposed by the
  BIONT Task Force
