However Lipid nomenclature has yet to become a robust research tool since no rigorous definitions exist for membership of specific lipid classes. Lipids need to be defined in a manner that is systematic yet at the same time semantically explicit. We report on the reuse of existing lipid nomenclature, ontology describing chemical structure and the extension of the OWL-DL Lipid Ontology to support the classification of lipid molecules. We applied definitions, DL-axioms, to describe lipids classes and illustrate suitability of the ontology for the classification of Fatty Acyl lipids and Mycolic acids. http://precedings.nature.com/documents/3542/version/1 Mon, 03 Aug 2009 14:16:25 UTC An OWL-DL Ontology for Classification of Lipids hdl:10101/npre.2009.3542.1 2009-08-03 Christopher J.

The workshop focused on general principles that will serve as a basis for future decisions on implementation strategies. The report discusses the problems arising from the use of different parcellation schemes and use of different terminologies and highlights the need of a universal vocabulary for describing the structural organization of the nervous system. Workshop participants encourage the creation of an International Coordinating Committee for Neuroanatomical Nomenclature and propose short- and long-term goals for such a committee. http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/npre.2008.1780.1 Tue, 08 Apr 2008 17:23:59 UTC 1st INCF Workshop on Neuroanatomical Nomenclature and Taxonomy doi:10.1038/npre.2008.1780.1 2008-04-08 Mihail Bota Nature Precedings 2008-04-08T17:23:59Z Manuscript Neuroscience Bioinformatics http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
