SUO: FYI: Ontology for functional genomics - workshop announcement
SUO-ers,
I'm posting this as a courtesy to some colleagues at the European Media
Laboratory in Heidelberg. If you're interested in applications of ontology
to biology and genomics, I would encourage you to attend.

==========================================================================
The ESF programme in Functional Genomics announces the workshop "Ontology
for Biology"
Registrations are now open!
The workshop is being organised by
Luca Bernardi (European Media Laboratory), Paul van der Vet (University of
Twente), Uwe Reyle (University of Stuttgart), Jasmin Saric (European Media
Laboratory), Isabel Rojas (European Media Laboratory) and Renate Kania
(European Media Laboratory).
The workshop is being held in Heidelberg, Germany from 7-8th November 2002.
More information can be found at:
http://www.functionalgenomics.org.uk/sections/activitites/workshops.htm
The workshop sets out to clarify to the following questions:
* Why do we need ontologies?
* How are they created?
* How do we check them?
* How do we use them?
The aim is to bring together scientists from different fields and to foster
a discussion of biological ontologies from different viewpoints. There will
be time for presentations and discussions will be fostered. Participants are
encouraged to present posters describing systems for implementing and
applying ontologies.
******************************
Also note, an update to the resources pages of the functional genomics web
site now includes a comprehensive review on protein arrays by the programme
chairman, Mike Taussig. It consists of a thorough review of the field with
relevant literature, a list of associated industrial companies, and the main
international meetings where protein arrays are featured. Go to
