We would like to invite you to the Third Annual Bio-Ontologies
Meeting (Bio-Ontologies 2000), on August 24th in La Jolla,
California, USA. This is immediately after the ISMB-00 August
20-23 in La Jolla.
The goal of this consortium is the identification and promotion of
a practical set of technologies that will aid in the knowledge
management and exchange of concepts and representations in
the life sciences. The first meeting took place in Montreal in
1998, and made clear the general interest and support people
had for ontologies in the life sciences. The following year in
Heidelberg we discussed ontology exchange and presented
ontologies currently under development.
Many in the group have been active since our last meeting. The
community now has considerable experience in the development
and deployment of ontologies in the life sciences, so it is
appropriate for us to take stock and reflect. So the theme for this
year's meeting is Sharing Experiences and Spreading Best
Practice. The idea is that we share not only the results of our
labors but how we got there, and what we wished we had known
while we did it.
The programme includes:
Opening keynote: It Is What It Does: The Pragmatics of Ontology
as
Language, Contract, and Content,
Tom Gruber, Intraspect Software.
