The Neuroscience Information Framework (NIF) hosts a biweekly Webinar series on

Our next Webinar is scheduled for Tuesday, December 15, 2009 and will
focus on the MIREOT Tool (Minimum Information to Reference External Ontology Terms).

Date and Time: Tuesday, December 15, 2009 • 11:00-12:00 PST
Topic: MIREOT Tool
Presenters: Alan Ruttenberg and Melanie Courtot

Access Code: 8220739

This Webinar will provide a demonstration of the MIREOT Tool and the
rationale for using tools such as MIREOT to synchronize ontology
development.  MIREOT is a mechanism and a minimal information standard
used for importing required terms into an ontology.  The focus of the
demonstration will be on the simple workflow of allowing selective use
of classes from external ontologies.  We will provide suggestions on
implementation for this mechanism and how it can be extended over time.

We hope you can make it.

Thanks!
