This group is responsible for working with the Representation and deployment TF to put structure into place for a knowledge base of neuronal cell types, providing a formal means for describing and quantifying existing cell types from their properties, e.g., a cell registry, and populating it with information from the literature. This knowledge base will serve as a resource for comparing potentially new neuronal types with known types and for constructing statistical representations of neuronal cell types based on known instances. We will create conventions and specify tools to aid in naming new cell types based on defining characteristics. This group will examine and flesh out requirements and review what has already been done in related areas and based on this, determine what might be reused and identify what needs to be built in order to create this structure.
