NCBO Summary:
 +
The National Center for Biomedical Ontology (NCBO) is a consortium of leading biologists, clinicians, informaticians, and ontologists who develop innovative technology and methods that allow scientists to create, disseminate, and manage biomedical information and knowledge in machine-processable form. The vision for the NCBO is that all biomedical knowledge and data are disseminated on the Internet using principled ontologies, such that the knowledge and data are semantically interoperable and useful for furthering biomedical science and clinical care. The Center’s resources include: an integrated Open Biomedical Ontologies (OBO) library; the BioPortal, a web portal for accessing, visualizing, and biomedical ontologies; a database of annotations on experimental data, the Open Biomedical Data (OBD) repositories; and tools for accessing and using this biomedical information in research.  The NCBO collaborates with Driving Biological Projects (DBPs) that involve the development and use of ontologies to annotate different types of biomedical information and to extract additional knowledge from this data.  Two DBPs based at model organism databases for zebrafish and fruit flies focus on the development and application of ontologies to describe phenotypes with the broad goal of integrating human and model organism data.  An additional DBP applies ontologies to structure data to enable the analysis of HIV clinical trial data.  A key component of the NCBO is the dissemination plan to institute frequent, formal workshops to help investigators at the grass roots to design biomedical ontologies of more utility and of more lasting value. These workshops are part of a general endeavor to establish and test best practices in ontology-building and to disseminate these practices across an ever wider community in ways designed to assure comparability of data.

NCIBI Summary:
 +
The Mission of the National Center for Integrative Biomedical Informatics (NCIBI.org) is to create targeted knowledge environments for molecular biomedical research that help guide experiments and enable new insights from the analysis of complex diseases. NCIBI develops efficient software tools, data integration methods, and systems modeling environments. The resulting NICIBI “suite of tools and data” facilitates rapid construction of context-appropriate molecular biology information schemas from experimental data, biomedical databases, and the published literature. These tools, together with laboratory and community data resources, have accelerated our assembly of relevant information for research on our four Driving Biological Problems (DBPs): Prostate Cancer Progression, Complications of Type-1 Diabetes, Genetic Heterogeneity of Type-2 Diabetes, and Genetic Susceptibility of Bipolar Disorder. NCIBI is disseminating these tools, data, and their integration capabilities for applications through portal-enhanced outreach and innovative web-based interactive training and educational programs for our partners around the country and for the broader NIH community and potential new collaborators.

MAGNet Summary:
 +
Cellular processes are determined by the concerted activity of thousands of genes, their products, and a variety of other molecules. This activity is coordinated by a complex network of biochemical interactions largely determined by molecular structures and physiochemical properties which control common intra and inter-cellular functions over a wide range of scales. At an increasing level of granularity, these may range from the formation/activation of transcriptional complexes, to the availability of a signaling pathway, all the way to complex, macroscopic cellular processes, such as cell adhesion. Understanding this organization is crucial for the elucidation of biological function and for framing associated health related applications in a quantitative, molecular context. Additionally, the emerging complexity of these molecular interactions in the cell calls for a new level of sophistication in the design of genome-wide computational approaches.
 +
The National Center for the Multiscale Analysis of Genomic and Cellular Networks (MAGNet) addresses this challenge through the application of both knowledge-based and physics-based methods. The Center provides an integrative computational framework to organize molecular interactions in the cell into manageable context dependent components. Furthermore, it is developing a variety of interoperable computational models and tools that can leverage such a map of cellular interactions to elucidate important biological processes and to address a variety of biomedical applications.
