OpenTox Links - Creating a Linked Data and Resource Infrastructure for Predictive Toxicology and Safety Assessment

We have had a lot of activity in recent months on the OpenTox project with regards to developing a linked data and resource infrastructure for the support of interdisciplinary predictive toxicology research and safety assessment.  I enclose several links below including our recent overview workshop presentation in Potsdam, reports, demonstrations, technical links and interest groups.  A paper will be published as an Open Access publication in coming weeks (reference below).

 

We welcome your joining this community and movement to work towards the common goal of safer products and a safer environment, supported by new alternative and advanced methods.

OpenTox Signup & Mailing List
Complete the form at http://www.opentox.org/join_form

Note: If you have a general interest and want to receive a monthly news update e.g., on new applications, data resources, ontology developments, news etc., select the "I'm interested in OpenTox news"

option.  We also welcome including news from other projects in the newsletter.  Do not select the option "I'm interested in OpenTox Technical Development" unless you are doing technical computing work

in the field as this list is quite technical and busy!
