To all interested in Bio-Ontologies:
I would like to invite you to the Second Annual Bio-Ontologist Meeting
(Bio-Ontologies 99), on August 5th in Heidelberg, Germany. This is
immediately before ISMB-99 August 6-10, which will also be held in
Heidelberg. Last year's kick-off meeting was a great success, and was a
clear indication of the general interest and support people had for
developing and using ontologies in the life sciences. 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. For more information
see the bio-ontology web-site below.

<FONT SIZE=4><P>About this site:<BR>
</B>This web site was put in place to follow up from the Ontologies for Molecular Biology Workshop, which took place at ISMB '98 in Montreal. The site and mailing list have been set up primarily for the 50-odd attendees, to address the need for continued dialogue on standards and goals for a group effort on ontologies for molecular biology. </P>

Following the meeting at the Computational Genomics conference (see above), the core of active group participants have worked to evaluate the primary representation languages/environments, <a href="http://www-ksl-svc.stanford.edu:5915/&service=frame-editor">Ontolingua</a> and <a href="http://wave.eecs.wsu.edu/WAVE/Ontologies/OML/OML-DTD.html">OML</a> (selected after the last meeting). A meeting was held on March 29 at Pangea to share results and discuss next steps for the group. Click </FONT><A HREF="minutes-Mar-29-1999.html">here</A><FONT SIZE=4> to see the meeting minutes. </P>

</B>Last year, in response to the <A HREF="working-group.html">call for participation</a> in the the Ontologies for Molecular Biology Working Group, the core group met after the Second Annual Conference on Computational Genomics (http://www.tigr.org/cet/gss/cg/index.html) on Nov. 4<SUP>th</SUP>, 1998. Click </FONT><A HREF="working-group.html">here</A><FONT SIZE=4> for more details.</P>

Material should be deposited in the subdirectory "incoming" (for security reasons). Please submit zipped files containing the directory structure appropriate to the component files. They will then be placed into the bio-ontology directory. All material should be supplied by the owner, and accompanied by a README with property and usage information.</P>
<B><P>Mailing List:<BR>
</B>The mailing list membership is composed primarily of the original ontology workshop attendees, but is not closed. Posts to the group can only be made by members.
