TL;DR: This work describes the OBO Foundry initiative and provides guidelines for those who might wish to become involved and describes an expanding family of ontologies designed to be interoperable and logically well formed and to incorporate accurate representations of biological reality.

TL;DR: A scenario that shows the value of the information environment the Semantic Web can support for aiding neuroscience researchers is presented and several projects by members of the HCLSIG are reported, illustrating the range ofSemantic Web technologies that have applications in areas of biomedicine.

TL;DR: The experiences and development process as it pertains to OWL, which includes a number of elements that might inform tool developers as well as suggest general development patterns, are described.

TL;DR: The combination of an optimized server and modular, platform-independent client provides an ideal environment for viewing complex 3D biomedical datasets, taking full advantage of high-performance servers to prepare images and subsets of associated meta-data for viewing, as well as the graphical capabilities in Java to actually display the data.

TL;DR: This practicum describes neuroinformatics approaches at different levels of functionality, required expertise, and size of image datasets and provides guidance in selecting among the different options.
