Join us! INCF-HBP Short Course "Fundamentals of Ontology Engineering"
Institute of Basic Medical Sciences, University of Oslo, Norway
HBP INFRASTRUCTURE TRAINING PROGRAMME
This two-day introductory ‘hands-on’ course aims to provide attendees with both the theoretical foundations as well as some practical experience to begin building OWL ontologies using the Protégé-OWL tools.
The course will use Manchester's well-known "Pizza tutorial" to introduce participants to the the main conceptual parts of the Web Ontology Language (OWL) through the hands-on experience of building of an ontology. A series of practical exercises take participants through the process of forming competency questions that the ontology should support and using Protégé to enter the information into a knowledge base capable of answering them.
All this is centered around using automated reasoning to check the consistency of the growing ontology and of using the reasoner to issue queries to the knowledge base. In addition, the Neuroscience Information Framework (NIF) Ontology, which is used in the HBP KnowledgeGraph for data curation, will be introduced as a resource for standardizing annotation and classification of neuroscience knowledge, methods, and resources.
