Ontology

Work on semantic standards for sharing COVID-19 data. Update ontologies with COVID-19 and CoV related concepts to make knowledge machine-readable and actionable for mining, logical reasoning, etc...

Communication

• slack (#ontology)

Participants

• Robert Hoehndorf
• Núria Queralt Rosinach
• Yongqun "Oliver" He

Aims

• Update relevant biomedical ontologies

Skills

• Domain experts
• Curation
• Semantics: OBO, OWL, Description Logics
• Data modeling and Linkeddata

Outcomes

• New explicit and formal specifications of concepts related to COVID-19

Collaborations

• Text mining and analysis
• Wikidata
• Knowledge graphs
• Machine learning
• FAIRDATA
• Translation

Ideas

Idea 1 To make sure all relevant ontologies are updated (the OBO version of NCBI Taxonomy, for example, has no SARS-hCoV-2 yet, just needs a rebuilt)

Idea 2 The modelling of the case report form using ontologies, and more complex use cases such as mining + representing the co-morbidities from the mountain of hCoV-related preprints

Ontologies for COVID-19

• Coronavirus Infectious Disease Ontology

• COVID-19 Surveillance Ontology

• SciBite Vocabularies

Ontologies including COVID-19 and related information

• Human Disease Ontology
