[Susie] Agenda

[Susie] Literature search

<Susie> literature

<Susie> Recommended paper

[Susie] Compiled a good list. Especially relevant is "A framework for characterizing drug information sources"

Paper has very useful table with 39 dimensions of drug sources.

[Susie] Bio2RDF and LarKC papers have a lot of relevance.

[Susie] We can invite people who have done relevant work to speak on our call.

<ericP> Susie: Bio2RDF and LarKC papers have a lot of relevance.

<ericP> ... We can invite people who have done relevant work to speak on our call.

Summary of Bio2RDF [ChrisB]

Chris: Invite Bio2RDF people talk
... They're running into interesting problems of scalability.
... Their goal is to bring together as much data as they can and then find use cases.

Susie: Interesting that they're taking opposite approach as us.

Spoke about use cases yesterday with Kei

scribe: We have F2F next week. During breakout sessions we'll do work on use cases.
... We should define a use case that would be useful for both pharmaceutical companies and physicians.
... Scope use case to therapeutic area.
... One thought was respiratory diseases
... However neuroscience will be focus as long as it can be extended to respiratory
... Interested in co-morbitity. Drug targeting multiple diseases, etc.
... Nice to have links that go from drugs to disease.

<Susie> Business case

scribe: also links from drug to disease to biology to symptoms.
... Good to use clinicaltrials.gov data.
... Interest from three actors: patients, physicians, pharma
... Defined what sorts of questions patients ask.
... For instance "What other drugs are available for this disease?"
... Defined what sorts of questions physicians ask.
... Wondered if we could link to COI work.
... Defined sorts of questions phara would ask.
... Pharma want to ask a lot of bio questions related to drugs.
... These questions would link into BioRDF work.

Oktie: I'm currently working on the clinicaltrials.gov data
... We're working on algorithms on finding links among data. We haven't published yet. Within about a month we'll have something ready.
... action to go back to his group to see about publishing data

Susie: Will continue discussions with Bosse next week

Eric: Do you expect this data set to touch identifiers that NCBI will serve?

Susie: Talk about hosting workshop at NIH during Jan./Feb. timeframe dealing with URIs

Sound quality is very bad!

Good!

Oktie: Use cases go back to the idea of linked data. Wonder if we should publish linked data even if we have no use case.

Chris: I see no problem with the idea.

Susie: Same here. However, it is important to be able to show
... the value of what we've done.
... Chris sent an email to the main list about a special issue of linked data and SW.
... I'd like to see us submit a paper.

<Susie> IJSWIS special issue on linked data

Susie: Data set exploration

<Susie> Data set evaluation

Chris: Two tables. One table has a list of data already available.
... the other table has a list that are not yet available as linked data.

Susie: Focus on something general and then perhaps bring specific company data set in.
... Idea of developing a cloud sounds really good.
... At Lilly I'm trying to create a high-level ontology linking areas related to bio related to disease, market opportunity, clinical trials, etc. Drugs could be a component.
... Chris what are you thinking about for browsers, visualization tools...

Chris: You can use all different browsers to pick up data.
... We could go to the LSID browser...

Susie: There have been URI/LSID wars.
... prefer to use URIs.

Chris: The linked data must be HTTP based.

<Susie> F2F URL

Susie: Good progress! See you in 2 weeks.

Eric... are you publishing this for me?
