titleParticipation and Communication

The NCI Nanotechnology Working Group is a working group of the NCIP program and is expected to work closely with the Nanotechnology community, and other NCIP Working Groups. Nanotechnology working and working group calls are open to anyone interested in participating in and contributing to the working group discussions and activities.

Group communications are managed through the Working Group wiki site (here) NCI Community Hub and the Nano-Standards listserv.

    • To enable nanomedicine data search, sharing, and analysis through ontology development.
      • One project directly related to this goal is the NanoParticle Ontology: http://nano-ontology.org

    • To establish a common framework for describing and accessing the physiochemical and biological properties of nanotechnology using common data elements and data sharing formats.
      • One project directly derived from this goal is the ISA-TAB-Nano standard for data submission: http://is.gd/foSKV

    • To develop a framework for uniform and comprehensive data curation and annotation ensuring that data reliability and reproducibility is evaluated by users most familiar with both the data and the methods used to produce it.
    • To encourage the development of effective data mining standards and tools that are particularly suited for nanomaterial safety assessment, safe-by-design approaches, establishing nanotoxicology structure-activity relationships and nanomaterials characterization databases used for accompanying these objectives.
    • To encourage adoption and use of a shared informatics infrastructure by the nanotechnology and broader communities.

    Data generated from nanotechnology research are so diverse and large in volume that it is difficult to share and efficiently use them without informatics tools.  In particular, ontologies that provide a unifying knowledge framework for annotating the data are required to facilitate the semantic integration, knowledge-based searching, unambiguous interpretation, mining and inferencing of the data using informatics methods.  The Nano WG supports the continuing development and application of the NanoParticle Ontology (NPO), which is developed within the framework of the Basic Formal Ontology (BFO), and implemented in the Ontology Web Language (OWL) using well-defined ontology design principles. Nano WG will work closely with data repositories and data curation efforts to capture requirements and incorporate new terminology in NPO.  See http://nano-ontology.org

    ISA-TAB-Nano was developed to facilitate the import and export of data on nanomaterials and their characterizations among nanotechnology resources. Nano WG will continue to update the specification based on the feedback from the community. Nano WG will also continue to work with the ISA-team

    to extend the ISA-TAB validator to support ISA-TAB-Nano extensions, and to explore the use of ISA OntoMaton that allows users to search for ontology terms while annotating their experiments. The ISA-TAB-Nano project is under development as an ASTM standard (WK28974 at http://is.gd/foSKV)
