SIG: Bio-Ontologies: Representing the Immune Epitope Database in OWL, Jason Greenbaum et al. (Bjoern Peters presenting)
context is key - Allyson Lister
instances are not universals - Allyson Lister
ontology developed for IEDB called ONTIE, and designed to be superceded after submission of all terms in other ontologies. Nice :) - Allyson Lister
It may be nice to keep the ontology as a view on the other ontologies, to speed up reasoning when people are interested just in this domain. - Robert Hoehndorf
@Allyson I really like the idea of an ontology designed to get smaller - Phil Lord
"ontologic normalization" of the database - :) - Allyson Lister
@Robert @Phil - I agree that those things aren't mutually exclusive at all - allow the ontology's owned classes to be dropped to 0, then it is just a view, as Robert says. Good ideas :) - Allyson Lister
