<matthias_samwald> http://hackathon3.dbcls.jp/

matthias: sponsored by Japanese government; about 20 participants
... took place twice previously
... works on SW for LS
... Mark Musen, and Francois from Bio2RDF and ppl from UniProt
... also ppl from KEGG
... 1st day on presentation, the rest of the week on development
... Francois gave a very extensive introduction to Bio2RDF

<dmitry> I have a question to Matthias: what software / tools / frameworks have been chosen for Hackathon? And what was done (developed / produced) by the end of it?

matthias: huge interests in exposing large life science databases as RDF, based on hpc clusters
... very exciting to see many DBs are to be exposed as RDF
... convert text mining results into RDF, RDFa and aTag formats
... Reflect now can outputs annotations as RDFa and can be used with LODD
... Reflect won last year's Elsevier Grand challenge
... will give more detailed reports with Mark

dmitry: what actual tools are used and what was produced in the end of hackathon? what lessons learnt to make such events more productive

matthias: ppl already know each other's interest and profile; a lot of coordination before the event
... 2 days to know each other; coordinate prior to the event via events, to get a clear goal beforehand

kei: what kind of activities, e.g., around ontologies?

matthias: was on the text mining group. there are also RDFizer group, headed by Bio2RDF
... outcome, for the japanese community to publish RDF data, and the how-tos
... more discussions about what vocabulary to use, etc

<matthias_samwald> (was disconnected, redialing now...)

matthias: d2r was used to convert Ensembl into RDF, in very short time

scott: uniprot is still very interested in RDF
... will include RDF in their production system
... went to geneva with Eric, for the collaboration between uniprot and hcls

eric: would like to feedback to the rdb2rdf group, requirements from our hcls group

kei: ask for feedback from the group

... also update on the TCM project, as a collaboration with lodd
... matthias recently submitted a paper to the CM special issue

<mscottm> marshall@science.uva.nl

michael: supp. data in pdf or in the document are not very helpful. prefer in excel spreadsheets
... will raise our rdf activity in the mged meeting

kei: how to make progress on the rdf+mged work while lena is busy

you can load csv files into an RDB and work from there?
