i see both
16:24:59 [ericP]
mscottm: you have a lookup for overloaded gene names. is that local?
16:25:09 [ericP]
... so you have all synonyms available?
16:25:29 [ericP]
Jun: yes, quite authoritative within the Dres community
16:26:28 [ericP]
slide: [SPARQL queries]
16:27:08 [ericP]
jun: sparql tools with 8M [triples? records?] were too slow on case-insensitive searches so we down-cased everything
16:27:25 [ericP]
slide: [The RDF data sources]
16:27:44 [ericP]
Jun: we used d2rq
16:28:07 [ericP]
... we were conservative so we could impose minimal semantic interpretations
16:28:32 [Jun]
chris mugall
16:28:37 [Jun]
mungall
16:29:08 [ericP]
... Chris Mungall published one with much more semantic interpreation

slide: [SPARQLite Protocol]
16:30:45 [ericP]
Jun: streaming was very important to our app
16:30:54 [ericP]
... otherwise we ran into memory limitations
16:31:43 [ericP]
... we want to eliminate killer queries (including CONSTRUCT)
16:32:04 [ericP]
slide: [Lessons]
16:32:48 [ericP]
Jun: we find the unified RDF approach easier, but saw no overwhelming reason we couldn't use conventional tooling
16:33:12 [ericP]
... but RDF proved easier when we had to connect to another data source (an RDB)

unbounded
16:42:45 [ericP]
OPTIONAL { ... ?x } FILTER (!BOUND(?x))
16:43:56 [ericP]
ericP: was streaming sparql getting around a protocol limitation, or an implementation limitation
16:44:03 [ericP]
jun: implementation
16:44:09 [ericP]
ericP: what were your killer queries?
16:44:13 [ericP]
jun: will send
16:44:32 [ericP]
mscottm: what's the cost and challenge to cloud computing for this?
16:44:54 [ericP]
... you said text matching was expensive
16:45:02 [ericP]
... e.g. identifier completion?
16:45:06 [matthias_samwald]
Amazon EC2 pricing: http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/#pricing
16:45:18 [ericP]
jun: we don't want to do too many LIKE queries -- leave that to user
16:45:53 [ericP]
... text completions is lower priority than adding data sources to flyweb

kei: is the use case focused on developmental biology, and will you expand the biological domain?
16:47:45 [ericP]
jun: yes, and we are looking for opportunities to do so
16:48:06 [ericP]
kei: are you considering other gene expression data, e.g. microarray?
16:48:28 [ericP]
jun: yes, the @@X and @@Y databases have microarray data
16:48:58 [Jun]
flyatlas
16:49:05 [ericP]
... we'll have some microarray data
16:49:23 [ericP]
