Applied ontology is a sub-discipline of knowledge representation that develops resources that make the meaning of terms accessible to computers to improve interoperability of data and to support reasoning with digital knowledge bases. This course introduces students to the fundamentals of applied ontology and its role in biomedical informatics. Students will learn what ontologies are, how they differ from similar resources, and how to build, evaluate and query ontologies. Students will also gain familiarity with a variety of different ontologies and their application in biomedical informatics.
