- Understand how to build basic disease/disorder and anatomical
descirptions in a normalised ontology in OWL
- Understand how to use "Situations" to represent codable
conditions and procedures in OWL
- Understand the use of negation with "Situations" and its
significance for doing and EHRs
- Acquire a high level overview of how to express quantities in OWL
(timer permitting)
- Understand the use of static modules in OWL using Protege4Alpha
- Become familiar with the Protege4Alpha Environment
Level
The presentations will include a rapid review of OWL basics but will be
aimed at people with some prior knowledge of OWL. Anyone not
having done so is advised to work through the OWL introductory tutorial
by Matthew Horridge (the "pizza tutorial")
http://www.co-ode.org/resources/tutorials/ProtegeOWLTutorial.pdf.
Software and material required
The tutorial will be more meaningful if you are able to follow along
with the software and experiment afterwards. To do so, download
Protege4Alpha from
http://protege.stanford.edu/download/prerelease-alpha/.
If you do not have Graphviz installed, you should also install it in
order for the OwlViz tool in Protege to work properly -
http://www.graphviz.org.
All of the tutorial material, including presentations, handouts, and
ontologies, is available from
http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~rector/tutorials/Medinfo-2007/.
Note that the handouts and ontologies contain considerable additional
material beyond what can be covered in a three-hour tutorial.
Other material
Further tutorial material (including this one) and much else about OWL
is available from the CO-ODE project web site
http://www.co-ode.org.
