Description: This Webinar provides an explanation of how NIF is building on its cell ontology. We will discuss standard naming conventions and set properties that have been made to ensure proper granularity. We will highlight tools such as the Neurolex Wiki to show how the population of the ontology has been realized. Most of this demonstration will involve the user’s perspective.

As this Webinar will mainly be from the user’s perspective, we strongly encourage you to join us! We look forward to seeing you there.
