BioRDF update

<mscottm> Jun (BioRDF): trying to model gene lists in RDF

jun: Lena is passing RDF modeling work to someone else
... Satya has created an OWL ontology
... describes genes:
... .. organization
... .. signal values
... i [jun] will create RDF graphs
... we'll test this data against kei's queries
... will report next BioRDF
... will allow us to compare with SciDisc (who also describe experiments and resulting data)

<scribe> scribenick: ericP

Scientific Discourse

mscottm: working on provenance:
... .. that from gene lists
... .. origins of claims (e.g. literature)
... working with sudeshna das's work on microarrays
... inspecting MGED, OBI, experimental factor (EBI)
... , swan ontology
... Concept Web Alliance selected SWAN as the unit of micro-assertions
... also working with Yolanda Gill on provenance
... sudeshna leading this

Terminology

mscottm: want URI for e.g. SNOMED, LOINC, ... terms
... re: SNOMED policy, no restrictions on that if you're in a member country

Clinical Observations Interoperability

ericP: development of SWObjects
... Helen chen working with waterloo stuff

<mscottm> s/folks/stuff/

<mscottm> ..Helen Chen has folks at Waterloo working on a JNI wrapper for SWObjects

<mscottm> ..and Matt Charion from digg is working on a SWIG version of SWObjects

<mscottm> ..he is working on policy and access control for that.

mscottm: last week: Eli Cohen demo'd caMatch
... lots of functional overlap with the COI demo
... code is carefully constructed tool to give fine-grained selectors for breast-cancer trials
... they've given us their sample data
... caMatch data structures are data objects where COI data are managed in RDF.
... want to generalize this using the COI approach

LODD

Susie: matthias converting FDA safety data to RDF
... egon converting ChemBL to RDF
... matthias submitted a paper to a special issue that kei is organizing
... ericP will present to ACS
... we're interested in best practices in matching e.g. drug data to RDF
... and harder scenarios like longitudinal patient study data
... these increase complexity of model
... j&j is feeding data to rdb2rdf, hoping to get RDB2RDF them to meet our needs

Translational Medicine Ontology

Susie: moved to a weekly schedule to maintain momentum
... michel's tidying the demo
... ensuring that the TMO is cleaned up and posted at bioportal
... J&J looking at TMO for internal use
... Bosse, chrisD and others working with clinical sources via "emerge" group
... Bosse looking at physician interface
... michel submitting to ISMB
... ChrisD presenting TMO at drug industry conference (DC, Oct)

<mscottm> s/SIGONT at ISMB/ISMB/

Susie: still want an ontology for collaboration with e.g. compounds
... met Eric Bonebieu, who's persuing this

michel: [re demo]
... there were terms in the data that weren't mapped to the ontology
... the demo queries didn't use the TMO

<michel> http://esw.w3.org/HCLSIG/PharmaOntology/TMKB

mscottm: tx to W3 for migrating to media wiki

Image database at Stanford

mscottm: ericP set up a SPARQL interface to this DB (using SWObjects)
... relates to semantic annotaiton of images

Future of the Web for Collaborative Science

<mscottm> http://esw.w3.org/topic/HCLS/WWW2010/Workshop

jun: workshop program online, papers ready
... confirmed keynote. confirming panelists
... it will be an exciting workshop, want to see hcls folks

mscottm: re: f2f issue

f2f issues

mscottm: folks want to go to BioIT (Boston) and WWW (Raleigh) , but not both
... setting up two dinners, drinks, and discussion meetings
... susie to set up BOS, Kei to set up Raleigh

ericP will be at both

BOS: ericP Susie mscottm (tentative)

DRU: ericP Susie Jun EricMiller
... ericP Jun EricMiller

Susie: next W3C TPAC meeting 1-5 Nov Lyon
... last f2f was in CA, US. both gatherings in US.
... + an opportunity for europeans
... - perhaps not many hcls folks will be at TPAC

Lyon: Jun Susie at risk: mscottm Bosse matthias

Susie: looks iffy, maybe should look at SWAT4LS

mscottm: SWAT4LS organizers intrested in such a meeting

Grant Opportunities

mscottm: submitted proposal for coordinating omics for neurodegenerative diseases
... had michel, christine, kei, ... ellen parkinson (EBI)
... innovative medicine initiative grants in knowledge management (funding by interested pharmas)
... barend mons/CWA won an IMI as well as a couple teams from leiden

ericP: this calibrates us re: competitiveness

mscottm: would be a good idea to see how CWA packaged their stuff

web standards

<mscottm> Eric (Standards): RIF (Rule Interchange Format) just moved to PR (Proposed Rec)

<mscottm> ..SPARQL: 'minus' and 'not exists' made it into SPARQL

<mscottm> ..EricP submitted a SPARQL Federated Query extensions

<mscottm> ..maybe just in time to make it into the document (yes!)

<mscottm> RDB2RDF: Seems to be dominated by SQL people at the moment, I am interested in grounding things more in use cases.

<mscottm> ..RDB2RDF: Seems to be dominated by SQL people at the moment, I am interested in grounding things more in use cases.

<mscottm> ..<discussion about how to bring the RDF concerns of HCLS to RDB2RDF>
