Welcome to OAE!
The Ontology of Adverse Events (OAE), previous named Adverse Event Ontology (AEO), is a community-driven ontology that is developed to standardize and integrate data on biomedical adverse events (e.g., vaccine and drug adverse events) and support computer-assisted reasoning.
The OAE development has becoming an international collaboration. Our development group includes experts from academia and industry and covers the adverse events induced by different medical interventions such as administrations of vaccine, drug, medical devices, nutritional products.
More participations are welcome!

(NOTES:
- We have updated our ontology to also cover those possible non-causal adverse events. As a result, we have changed the name 'adverse event' described in the above OAE paper to 'causal adverse event'. The contents discussed in thos paper still fit in well with the new ontology term 'causal adverse event'.
- Due to the name conflict, we have changed our ontology name space from AEO to OAE starting from November 16, 2011. )
Additional Information:
The Adverse Event Representation Workshop in ICBO 2011 went out very well. All the papers and presentations from different groups, including our AEO (now OAE) development group, have been posted at http://icbo.buffalo.edu/2011/workshop/adverse-events/submissions.html.
