NCBO Seminar Series - Meeting Info for Wed, Sept 2! Hello All! 

The next NCBO Seminar Series will be held Wednesday, Sept 2, at 10am PST. The 
seminar will be presented by Dr. Raimond Winslow and Stephen Granite of the 
Institute for Computational Medicine . The title of the talk will be “Progress 
Report: Ontology-based annotation of biomedical time–series data.” 

Below is Information on how to join this week’s online meeting and accompanying 
teleconference. Please note there will not be a VOIP option, and attendees must 
call into the teleconference. 

For more information about the series, please visit the Seminar Series home 
page: http://www.bioontology.org/seminar -series . Information on how to join 
this week’s webinar is given below. To receive information on or to join any 
future meetings, please contact me at ska...@stanford.edu . 

This series aims to showcase new projects, technologies and ideas in biomedical 
ontology by featuring the work of a different collaborator each session. It is 
a webinar held online, and as such is open to anyone interested, regardless of 
location or affiliation. The sponsoring organization, the National Center for 
Biomedical Ontology ( http://www.bioontology.org ), is a consortium of leading 
biologists, clinicians, informaticians, and ontologists who develop innovative 
technology and methods allowing scientists to create, disseminate, and manage 
biomedical information and knowledge in machine-processable form. 

We hope to see you there. 



Title : Progress Report: Ontology-based annotation of biomedical time–series 
data 

Abstract: In a collaborating project with the NCBO, we are developing an 
ontology for describing the most common form of cardiovascular data – the 
electrocardiogram (ECG). The ontology includes the concepts needed to describe 
data collection protocols (number of leads, lead placement, instrumentation), 
the ECG waveform and its features in health and disease (e.g., QRS, T waves 
etc; abnormalities of the ECG such as elevated ST segment, inverted T wave, 
etc), data computed from the ECG (e.g., QT interval variability, QRS width, 
etc), algorithms used to compute these data, and interpretations (Minnesota 
codes). It has been deposited at the NCBO (Electrocardiography Ontology, ID 
1146). We will review this ontology. 

We are developing this ontology so that clinical researchers can manage, 
analyze, and share semantically labeled ECG data on the CardioVascular Research 
Grid (CVRG). We will give a demonstration of several components of this data 
management and analysis workflow. These components have been developed using 
the Google Web Toolkit, with data visualization supported by the Google 
Visualization API. The demonstration will include: a) a review of the CVRG 
Dashboard; b) selection and upload of ECG time-series data; c) data analysis; 
and d) visualization and annotation of the ECG waveform. The latter is done by 
invoking Bioportal REST services from the web-interface to retrieve concepts 
and definitions from the ontology. This represents substantial progress in our 
effort to develop the “electronic ECG chart recorder”.
