DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Justification for the Proposed Conference. The use of ontologies to describe both clinical and experimental data is now a standard technique in integrative translational research. When data from different sources are described using shared, logically structured, controlled vocabularies, this makes the data more easily retrievable and navigable, and it also enhances the degree to which they can be analyzed and combined to serve new purposes. Following a strategy pioneered by the Gene Ontology, ontologies are now being developed for the description of biological and biomedical data of almost every type. To achieve their goal in a maximally effective way, these ontologies must work well together, and as ontologies become ever more commonly used, the problems involved in achieving coordination in ontology development become ever more urgent. To address these problems there is an urgent need for a general overarching conference involving representatives of all the major communities involved in the development and application of ontologies in biomedicine. Qualifications of Organizers and Participants. The organizers have considerable experience in directing major interdisciplinary events at the borderlines of biology, biomedical informatics and clinical and translational research. Invited speakers will be leading figures in the field of biomedical ontology. The majority of presentations will be selected on the basis of submissions refereed by the Program Committee. Steps are being taken to encourage submissions from under-represented groups. Papers accepted for presentation will be published in a volume of conference proceedings. Scientific Plans for the Proposed Conference. The workshop program is designed to ensure coverage of the entire domain of biomedical research, from biomolecules to populations. Principal anticipated long-term outcomes are: (1) heightened mutual awareness of the work being undertaken by the many groups involved in developing and using ontologies to serve the ends of clinical and translational research; (2) establishment of new cross-disciplinary collaborations among these groups. Rationale for Funding Support. The sorts of cross-disciplinary expertise in biology, biomedicine, biomedical informatics and computer science that are the presupposition of successful work in biomedical ontology are not yet adequately addressed in university training programs. There is accordingly a shortage of junior researchers with the needed awareness and expertise. We hope that this conference will serve as an initial step to addressing this shortfall. We are accordingly requesting funding to enable students and early career scientists, especially from under-represented groups, to participate in the ICBO conference. PUBLIC HEALTH REVELANCE The use of ontologies to describe both clinical and experimental data is now a standard technique in integrative translational research. We request funding in the form of early career participant stipends for the first general conference involving representatives of all the major communities involved in the development and application of ontologies in biomedicine.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议会议的理由。使用本体来描述临床和实验数据现在是综合转化研究中的标准技术。当来自不同来源的数据使用共享的、逻辑结构化的、受控的词汇表来描述时，这使得数据更容易检索和导航，并且还提高了它们可以被分析和组合以服务于新目的的程度。在基因本体论开创的策略之后，本体论现在正在被开发用于描述几乎每一种类型的生物和生物医学数据。为了以最有效的方式实现它们的目标，这些本体必须很好地协同工作，并且随着本体变得越来越常用，在本体开发中实现协调所涉及的问题变得越来越紧迫。为了解决这些问题，迫切需要召开一次全面的会议，让参与生物医学本体论开发和应用的所有主要社区的代表参加。 组织者和参与者的资格。组织者在指导生物学、生物医学信息学和临床及转化研究的重大跨学科活动方面具有相当丰富的经验。受邀演讲者将是生物医学本体领域的领军人物。大多数演讲将根据项目委员会审查的意见书进行选择。正在采取步骤鼓励代表性不足的群体提交报告。被接受的论文将在会议记录中出版。 会议的科学计划。该研讨会计划旨在确保覆盖整个生物医学研究领域，从生物分子到人口。主要预期的长期成果是：（1）参与开发和使用本体论的许多团体正在开展的工作的相互认识提高，以服务于临床和转化研究的目的;（2）在这些团体之间建立新的跨学科合作。 资助的理由。生物学、生物医学、生物医学信息学和计算机科学的跨学科专业知识是生物医学本体学成功工作的前提，但这些知识在大学培训计划中尚未得到充分解决。因此，缺乏具备所需认识和专门知识的初级研究人员。我们希望，这次会议将成为解决这一不足的第一步。因此，我们请求提供资金，使学生和早期职业科学家，特别是来自代表性不足群体的科学家能够参加ICBO会议。 使用本体来描述临床和实验数据现在是综合转化研究的标准技术。我们请求以早期职业参与者津贴的形式为首届大会提供资金，该大会将有参与生物医学本体论开发和应用的所有主要社区的代表参加。
