Description
The Informed Consent Ontology (ICO) represents entities in the domain of informed consent. ICO developers coordinated with related projects (Ontology of Biobanking, Document Acts Ontology, Data Use Ontology, and Common Rule Ontology) in order to refactor, expand, and reevaluate ICO’s model. Poster describes the ontology refactoring process, methods for directing ontology development (e.g., use cases), and maintaining interoperability and reducing redundancy with other evolving projects. Results of new release discussed, including the merger of CRO.
Learning Objective: Understand how a procedure common to computer programming, called ‘refactoring,’ can aid ontology development
Learn methods for management and assessment of ontology development across ontology projects, including generation of use cases to probe need and examining documents that would be annotated according to an ontology’s terminology
Become aware of recent changes to the Informed Consent Ontology and how it impacts other ontologies related to the informed consent domain (including biobanking, data use, communicating obligations through documents, etc.)
