The next NCBO Webinar will be held Wednesday, June 16 at 10:00am PT. Please note there will not be a VOIP option and attendees must call into the teleconference.

The Webinar will be presented by Dr. Philip E. Bourne, Professor in the Department of Pharmacology and Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of California San Diego. The title of the presentation will be "The Role of Ontologies in Improved Scholarly Communication". Below is information on how to join the online meeting and accompanying teleconference. For a schedule of the 2010 presentations or for more information about the NCBO Seminar series, see: http://www.bioontology.org/seminar-series.

TITLE: The Role of Ontologies in Improved Scholarly Communication

ABSTRACT: 
We would argue that current modes of scholarly communication are outdated in an era increasingly dominated by Internet access and new business models. We are beginning to think beyond the PDF to how the full power of the medium can be unleashed to further comprehension and learning. Such changes involve improved data and literature integration, the use of rich media etc. While not ontology experts, it is clear to us that ontologies need to play a major role if this paradigm shift is to happen. I will describe a few of our efforts in this regard with illustrative examples from BioLit (biolit.ucsd.edu), SciVee (www.scivee.tv) and our development of a MS Word plugin (ucsdbiolit.codeplex.com).
