Lilly is interested in working with the community to develop a high-level patient centric ontology that can be used for translational medicine. We are hoping to undertake this work in collaboration with W3C's Health Care and Life Sciences Interest Group, and the National Center for Biomedical Ontology. A high level description of the proposed project is available [1].
I would encourage anyone who is interested in learning more and/or contributing to participate in the call on January 22 [2]. Cheers, Susie [1] http://esw.w3.org/topic/HCLSIG/PharmaOntology [2] http://esw.w3.org/topic/HCLSIG/PharmaOntology/Meetings/2009-01-22_Conference_Call
