This course provides students with essential concepts of ontologies, building ontologies, and knowledge representation as they pertain to health care, and biomedical research. With the ubiquitous nature of computer systems, and information-based systems in health care (and everywhere!) there is a critical need to be able to represent information.
Outcomes: Students will be able to understand the role of ontologies in knowledge representation; understand the differences between realist and anti-realist ontologies and apply different types of ontologies in biomedical research
