Hello All!
The National Center for Biomedical Ontology is pleased to announce its next
online Seminar Series, Wednesday, April 1st at 10am PST. Please note there will not be a VOIP
option, and attendees must call into the teleconference.
This series aims to showcase new projects, technologies and ideas in biomedical
ontology by featuring the work of a different collaborator each session. It is
a webinar held online, and as such is open to anyone interested, regardless of
location or affiliation.
Below is Information on how to join next week’s online meeting and accompanying
teleconference. The seminar will be presented by Michel
Dumontier, Associate Professor at the Yale Center for Medical
informatics. The title of the presentation will be "Precise biochemical knowledge starting with
structure-based criteria for molecular identity”.
For a schedule of 2009 presentations through June, or for more information
about the series, please visit the Seminar Series home page: http://www.bioontology.org/seminar_series.html.
Information on how to join this week’s webinar is given below. To receive
information on or to join any future meetings, please contact skanel@xxxxxxxxxxxx.
The sponsoring organization, the National Center for Biomedical Ontology (http://www.bioontology.org), is a
consortium of leading biologists, clinicians, informaticians, and ontologists
who develop innovative technology and methods allowing scientists to create,
disseminate, and manage biomedical information and knowledge in
machine-processable form.
Title:
Precise biochemical knowledge starting with structure-based criteria for
molecular identity
Abstract: Biochemical ontologies aim to capture and represent biochemical
entities and the relations that exist between them in an accurate and precise
manner. A fundamental starting point is the use of identifiers that precisely
and uniquely identify some biochemical entity, whether it be a substance, a
quality or some biological process. Yet, our current approach for generating
identifiers doing so is often haphazard and incomplete. This prevents us from
accurately integrating knowledge and also leads to under specification of our
knowledge. This talk aims to initiate a discussion on plausible structure-based
strategies for biochemical identity, ultimately to generate identifiers in an
automatic and curator/database independent fashion, whether it be at molecular
level or some part thereof (e.g. residues, collection of residues, atoms,
collection of atoms, functional groups). With structure-based identifiers in
hand, we will be in a position to accurately capture specific biochemical
knowledge, such as how a set of residues in a binding site are involved in a
chemical reaction including the fact that a key nitrogen atom must first be
de-protonated. Thus, this will enhance our current representation of
biochemical knowledge and make it fundamentally more useful.
