Internet Analysis Tools Registry (IATR) A Public Resource for Image Analysis Tools AND An Instance of an Ontology Problem David N. Kennedy Center for Morphometric Analysis, MGH/HMS Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, HST/MGH/MIT
Overview • IATR Website Review • Existing Tool ‘Proto-Ontology’ (i.e. keywords) • Proposed Expanded Tool Ontology • Now what??? See also: Kennedy & Haselgrove, The Internet Analysis Tools Registry: A Public Resource for Image Analysis, Neuroinformatics, In Press, 2006. See Preprint at: http://na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/SDIWG:NCBC_Software_Classification#IATR

IATR Example Tool Description Issues: Keeping up to date Application List Contact URLs Platforms etc. Completeness
Current System-Supplied Tool Function Keywords • Atlas: Delivers an atlas or supports atlas-based interpretation of images. • Functional: Supports functional image analysis. • Microscopy: Supports analysis of microscopy images. • Registration: Supports image registration. • Surface analysis: Supports surface-based analysis • Statistical: Supports statistical inference and analysis. • Segmentation: Supports segmentation analysis. • Visualization: Provides a significant visualization capability. • Volume: A tool that provides volumetric analysis. • Warping: Supports warping spatial transformations.
Towards a Software Tool Ontology • Image is_a type • DerivedImage instance_of Image • DerivedImage created_from Image • DerivedImage created_by SoftwareTool • SoftwareTool has_a tool_creator • has_a tool_function • has_a operating_system • has_a funding_source • etc.
Towards a Software Tool Ontology • ImageEntity (ImageFeature) is_a type • ImageEntity created_from Image • ImageEntity created_by AnalysisProcess • Observation (or Finding) created by AnalysisProcess • SoftwareTool instance_of AnalysisProcess • RadiologicalRead instance_of AnalysisProcess
Towards a Software Tool Ontology • 3DSlicer instance_of SoftwareTool • BWH instance_of tool_creator • Visualization instance_of tool_function • NCBC_NA-MIC instance_of funding_source • Linux instance_of operating_system • 3DSlicer has_function Visualization • has_creator BWH • has_funding NCBC_NA-MIC • has_operating_system Linux
Now What??? • Community Vetting • Integration w/ Other Efforts • Compliance/Usability Issues • Other Issues
