Dr Amandeep S. Sidhu
is a principal investigator for Protein Ontology (PO) Project since 2003. Protein
Ontology is accepted as part of Standardized Biomedical Ontologies at the National
Center for Biomedical Ontologies, USA along with Gene Ontology and other biomedical
ontologies. His research work in the fields of Biomedical Ontologies, Biological Data
Management and Modelling, Structural Bioinformatics, and Proteomics, resulted in over
50 scientific publications since 2004. His work in the area of Biomedical Ontologies has
been cited in over 150 publications. He is also the Founding Chair of IEEE Biomedical
Ontologies Forum and member of IEEE Computer-based Medical Systems Conference
Steering Committee.

Biomedical Ontologies have developed in an uncoordinated way, often reflecting mere
relations of association between what are called concepts, and serving primarily the
purposes of information extraction from on-line biomedical literature and databases. In
recent years, we have learned a great deal about the criteria which must be satisfied if
ontology is to allow true information integration and automatic reasoning across data and
information derived from different sources. In this tutorial we will broadly cover current
research on development biomedical ontologies, and various issues in biomedical
informatics addressed by these ontologies. Researchers will be invited to discuss and
explore the theories, design, and applications of biomedical ontologies.
The tutorial will cover the following topics:
Design of Biomedical Ontologies
Use of Ontologies to manage Interoperation in Biomedical Databases
Ontology representation and exchange languages
Biomedical Ontologies and Web Ontology Language (OWL)
Tools for Development and Management of Biomedical Ontologies
Support of Ontologies for Biological Information Retrieval and Web Services
Change Management in Biomedical Ontologies
