Keywords Ontology
Research focus My interest lies in structuring and using biological and clinical knowledge to answer questions and computationally interpret experimental data. I’m currently involved in a number of open biomedical ontology efforts, including: BioPAX-OBO for representing molecular and cellular pathways, the Ontology for Biomedical Investigations (OBI), and the Basic Formal Ontology (BFO) that will form the upper level ontology for the OBO foundry. These interests and efforts come together in my project at Science Commons - the Neurocommons, a large scale Semantic Web knowledge base of biological information aimed at supporting, initially, the neurosciences.
