From Bench to Bedside

How Tranlsational Medicine relies on the capture and sharing of semantically-ware information, and how semantic web applications could help facilitate this multi-disciplinary paradigm.

Presentations:

Sematic Web Primer

Presentation by Eric Miller on the W3C SW specifications, demonstrations, and some commercial implmentations.

Presentations: Use Cases and Applications

10 members of the IG were invited to speak briefly (10 min) to their most valued use cases and the relation of their work to their constituency.

Interactive Session and Reports

An interactive discussion was moderated by Eric and Tonya to try and form subtopics of relative similar interest. Six initial areas of interest were identified. These groups each worked for about an 1 1/2 hours, and then presented their concepts and proposals to all the F2F participants. Feedback was used to help refine the tasks that were proposed.

ROI for Semantic Web in HCLS

Intitiated Task Forces

These are the first draft of task forces that have been formed to address key areas to facilitate implementation of the semantic web in healthcare and life sciences. Each group is defining its topic of focus, their deliverables, and a rough timeline. The proposals for each task force are linked below.
