could not be here 21:51:46 ...Linking Open Drug Data 21:52:05 ...Scientific Discourse is related to soft knowledge we were discussing before 21:52:19 ...when people enter a comment into a blog and you want to relate to ontologies and raw data 21:52:33 ...Explain the knowledge base 21:52:49 ...We wanted to ask a scientific question relevant to data for that question 21:52:56 ...We got input from the Alzheimer's Forum 21:53:22 ...Drugable targets; signal transduction pathways 21:53:35 ...we assembled a number of heterogeneous data sets 21:53:39 ...using RDF and OWL 21:53:46 ...coupling different sources by choosing same names 21:53:54 ...like "genes" and so forth 21:53:59 ...used permanent URLs 21:54:09 ...the main work was designing that coupling among the different data sources 21:54:24 ...The query was fairly complex 21:54:38 ...To flesh out restriction classes, to get to sub classes part of the process 21:54:48 ...we did pre-inferencing and added entailments to the graph 21:54:53 ...so we could ask questions 21:55:05 ...Question went across a number of data sets 21:55:11 ...and then out came 42 genes 21:55:19 ...And AlzForum said it was a great list 21:55:29 ...Unlike Google where you came up with 225K hits 21:55:35 ...So we have that knowledge base now 21:55:39 ...We are building on it 21:55:45 ...It is hosted by DERI Galway 21:56:16 ...and Adrian Paschke in Berlin 21:56:33 ...Also working on query federation 21:56:37 ...and there was recently a publication 21:56:41 csma has joined #HCLS 21:56:43 ...in BioInformatics 21:56:51 ...where we discussed a combined effort 21:56:59 ...looking at federating resources 21:57:05 ...applying SemWeb library resources 21:57:18 ...will be a great "magic bullet" with a SPARQL query 21:57:27 ...different terminology than what's stored in SQL 21:57:38 ...storing terminology and talking to relational databases 21:57:55 ...Traditional Chinese medicine is part of our triple store federation 21:58:07 ...Looking to how that can be used to address problems 21:58:10 ...Linking Open Drug Data 21:58:28 ...I think you are aware of this one 21:58:44 ...differences between document oriented and assertion oriented 21:58:48 ...LODD sets 21:58:56 ...that have been produced by these activities 21:59:11 ...Look at bottom area of the linked data cloud, is all HCLS data 21:59:23 ...So it accounts for quite a lot of the LOD data being served up 21:59:35 ...I asked Kinsgley Idehan what he considered to be large 21:59:41 ...they are serving 7.5 billion triples 21:59:48 ...We have moved from millions to billions 21:59:54 ...Doesn't mean you can reason over it 22:00:00 ...But you can store it and query it 22:00:02 ...Ontotext 22:00:09 ...at BioIT World talked about what they have 22:00:25 ...Ontotext has something like 15 billion before they added tail mix and inferencing 22:00:29 ...which moves to 20 bil 22:00:34 ...Four Store 22:00:38 ...Teratriples 22:00:46 4store 22:00:47 ...Triple stores have gotten quite large 22:00:59 ...Uniprot accounts for quite a lot of triples 22:01:10 ...Descibed how many triples they process in three weeks 22:01:14 ...on order of 3 billion 22:01:20 ...Get the idea 22:01:42 ...Clinical Operability TF is going strong 22:01:52 ...It's work is being shown at AMIA 22:02:00 ...It bridges CDSC to HL7 formats 22:02:06 ...Eric can talk more about this 22:02:20 ...Looking for

with this data 22:03:39 Scott: This demo takes data sets and puts in proper formats 22:03:58 Eric: Relational database with hospital data 22:04:04 ...HL7 is one view of that 22:04:18 ...another view is to ask a CDSC query 22:04:29 ...so it pushes queries all the way back to data base 22:04:35 ...ontological agility 22:04:42 ...without performance issues 22:04:43 -Susie 22:04:49 ...don't have to marterialize it 22:05:13 Scott: This "precipitous gap" between the CDSC expression of elibility and what HL7 can consume 22:05:18 ...So take an inclusion criterion 22:05:31 ...and translate into a tripe (meformin} 22:05:40 ...so we can create a triple to represent that constraint 22:05:48 ...SPAQRL query includes that constraint 22:06:00 Eric: There is backing material now 22:06:13 ...a Web interface that Helen Chen and Holgar Pichlar put together 22:06:24 ...so you can include exclusionary numbers 22:06:43 ...you can abstract, not just brand name drug 22:06:48 ...It's a realistic usage now 22:06:56 Scott: This is how we perform negation 22:07:03 Eric: I'll talk about SPARQL later today 22:07:13 Q: Is option an outer join? 22:07:17 Eric: yes 22:07:31 Scott: Eric mentioned this drug ontology that's incorporated into the Web interface 22:07:39 ...so you can check out the demo live on the server 22:07:44 ...In the Terminology Task Force 22:07:51 ...links to the BioRDF and federation 22:07:55 ...relate features to data 22:08:07 ...In various domains, there is a way to relate data to the domains and feature sets 22:08:12 ...Text mining and features sets 22:08:16 ...gene expression and profiles 22:08:29 ...When you have pattern recog algorithms for a domain 22:08:34 ...you can classify particular concepts 22:08:43 ..good for automated annotation 22:08:54 ...People have done things with ontology, Go, and so forth 22:09:06 ...In Terminology TF, we decided to employ SKOS 22:09:10 ...and not OWL 22:09:15 ...Peter can tell us more about that tomorrow 22:09:21 ...So we represented SnoMed in SKOS 22:09:34 ...There were some Web services that could deal with SKOS out of the box 22:09:42 ...AIDA, so we could browse the contents 22:09:54 ...John Madden from Duke Univ. showed this at CSHALS conference this year 22:10:09 ...Can drag up and have associated labels searched 22:10:15 [slide SNOMED CT/SKOS] 22:10:21 ...And another view 22:10:25 [slide next one afer that] 22:10:39 ...Taking it a step further in the federation work 22:10:49 ...We were able to directly connect to HCLS knolwedge base at DERI 22:10:52 ...then you could browse 22:11:00 ...See Go and ? activity 22:11:19 ...If you want to create a SPARQL query, which most people do with data bases 22:11:30 ...It's hard to write a query if I don't know what's in the knowledge base 22:11:36 ...So do knowledge complemtion 22:11:39 ...It finds it via label 22:11:45 i an not open the StateOfHCLS.ppt .. only my problem? 22:11:57 ...When you add to query, see it has a PURL URL 22:12:00 [slide Access to triples in Taverna] 22:12:08 ...Taverna via AIDA plugin 22:12:21 ...We want to make it easy to do so it's unavoidable 22:12:26 ...to make a semantic workflow 22:12:37 ...take a concept and drag it to your workflow 22:12:43 ...and say the data coming from here is a gene list 22:12:52 ...gene list is a data type defined in OWL, for example 22:13:16 ...Just to get the idea, you can drag a label and tag your label 22:13:23 ...so access from within the workflow itself 22:13:30 ...If something is an integer, which is all you know 22:13:41 ...that it's also a chromosome number 22:13:54 ...unless you use Biomoby 22:14:11 ...This business of pointing at whatever machine is hosting the instance 22:14:26 ...HCLS knowledge base is Virtuoso 22:14:47 ...Go to these links 22:15:08 ...More accomplishments that you can see 22:15:22 ...We have gone millions to billions; the LOD cloud is large 22:16:40 ...A few months ago a colleague and I gave a course, half of which was SemWeb 22:17:04 ...to bio informatics PhD students, so times are changing 22:17:19 ...If we can get to point where some of us are using shared names for obvious things, that would be good 22:17:53 ...Concept alliance 22:18:32 ...The IG itself has six task forces 22:18:40 ...Maybe a philosophical question, but a reality 22:18:44 ...six TFs is a lot 22:18:57 ...Would also like to reach out the Asia 22:19:12 ...Europe and America have active participants 22:19:56 ...The times of day in Asia have been difficult 22:20:02 ...and how many resources to spread around 22:20:08 ...It takes overhead to collaborate 22:20:16 Kei: And some people join multiple groups 22:20:31 Scott: Eric, Susie, and I try to spread ourselves across the groups 22:20:40 ...and it's great that we can integrate across the TFs 22:20:46 ...I hope to see that continue 22:21:02 ...I would like to mention this concept that Mark Musen brought across 22:21:15 ...If you provide your knowledge and your algorithms as services 22:21:25 ...then it allows people to create applications based on those services 22:21:38 ...so they get the best verion or release and create agile solutions 22:22:01 ...I saw an application that incorporates the BioPortal ontologies in a JAVA app 22:22:06 ...and I showed you AIDA 22:22:13 ...and we talked about HCLS 22:22:24 ...If you have to compile code, it becomes too much overhead to colllaborate 22:22:39 ...A SPARQL end point on every talbe 22:22:46 ...like a "chicken in every pot" 22:22:57 ...If you had a SPARQL end point for Uniprot 22:23:00 ...which they would like 22:23:10 ...and you have SWAN/SIOC 22:23:25 ...and myexperiment 22:23:45 ...you could link to workflows 22:23:49 ...if you expose RDF 22:24:02 ...and these various bioinformatics resources and wikis then you can link together with ontologies 22:24:08 ...of course the wiki being more than a wiki 22:24:14 ...Not just a page everyone can edit 22:24:20 ...Two different things come to mind 22:24:30 ...A wiki page could be a view into a knowledge base generated by a template 22:24:38 ...and the template edited by people who want to change the view 22:24:50 ...The source of info 22:24:59 ...if you are able to site a particular resource 22:25:11 ...you can create and environment where people site each other and give credit 22:25:21 ...this new publishing era that people are discussing 22:25:33 Eric: You may want to mention Workshop 22:25:41 Scott: We just had a Workshop in Wash, DC 22:25:44 ...very successful 22:25:49 ...fascinating converations 22:25:55 ...at ISWC, great presentations 22:26:05 ...put it on irc here 22:26:19 ...One of central themes was soft facts as an assertion 22:26:29 ...Something that's not an assertion in a knowledge base 22:26:40 ...but uses literature or something and you want to use that 22:26:52 ...so provide knowledge provinence 22:26:56 -> http://esw.w3.org/topic/HCLS/ISWC2009/Workshop WORKSHOP ON SEMANTIC WEB APPLICATIONS IN SCIENTIFIC DISCOURSE 22:26:59 ...Like the SWAN forum, for example 22:27:17 ...So if I know that group does good research in Alzheimers, then I may cite that 22:27:27 ...This use case for a Semantic Wiki 22:27:33 ...Because you can query across multiple wikis 22:27:40 ...if they provded these services 22:28:01 ...and a user said something about Drug A having a side effect; and side effect similarity with Drug B 22:28:10 ...and boost theory 22:28:28 ...Drugs with similar side effects have similar targets 22:28:31 ...So final slide 22:28:34 ...What do we need 22:28:42 ...Data stewardship; we need a change of attitude 22:28:58 ...The reviewers will hopefully start giving priority to proposals that talk about long-term access 22:29:08 ...pay more attention to data colleciton, not just provide an interface 22:29:12 ...talk abut how they will do it 22:29:17 ...We also need identifiers 22:29:29 ...Unclear to me if we have standard identifiers for the most mundane things 22:29:33 ...that we can rely on 22:29:38 ...so everyone agrees on 22:29:50 ...Also scalable triple stores so we can reason in place 22:29:54 ...SemWeb isn't magig 22:29:57 s/magic 22:30:14 ...Maybe we can be satisfied with lightweight or incomplete reasoning 22:30:23 ...accept that I am only 70% finished across a graph 22:30:36 ...And we need to coordinate and cooperate across the groups doing all the work 22:30:47 ...Would like to come out of this meeting with concrete action items 22:30:54 ...Align on the metalevel 22:31:05 ...and make sure we are complementing and reusing each other's work 22:31:13 ...So that's the state of the Interest Group 22:31:17 ...Happy to hear comments 22:31:28 ...Coordination and cooperation across groups leads into the next topic 22:31:32 ...About outreach 22:31:37 ...and how to get more out of less 22:32:01 Howard: not sure how to say this 22:32:12 ...What impressed me about this community is the wealth of tools and resources available 22:32:18 ...and how isolated they seem to be 22:32:23 ...COI group connections 22:32:27 ...and caBIG community 22:32:39 ...It does boggle me how little I see these resources included in grants and places 22:32:45 ...where they can benefit from them the most 22:32:51 ...I work with National Cancer Institute 22:32:58 ...this may seem too advanced to them 22:32:59 q+ 22:33:11 ...but what do we do so we can start using all this tuff 22:33:23 ...I see you, Mark[looks at Mark Musen] 22:33:39 Nagin: What is good for one may be disastrous for others 22:33:48 Mark: You may be right that some are scared of this 22:33:58 ...I think SemWeb community has done good job of outreach 22:34:10 Howard: I would like to see some of work done in grant proposals 22:34:22 Scott: I mentioned some of European partners 22:34:24 q+ what area enginer want to attend from Japan or Asia? 22:34:35 q+ 22:34:40 ...I would include more from States in these projects if I could 22:34:59 ...Idea is to provide data to neuroscientists 22:35:04 ...by means of good search support 22:35:15 ...instead of using traditional techniques only 22:35:26 ...you cannot ignore data warehousing; it works well for some situations 22:35:35 ...will always be another data warehouse you need to include 22:35:40 ...use for the small stuff 22:35:46 ...some data is growing rapidly 22:35:53 ...leave where it is, federate it 22:36:07 Howard: My perception that it's not being used; that it's isolated? 22:36:14 Mark: There is some isolation 22:36:22 ...caBIG has isolated itself 22:36:26 ...and OMG is in another world 22:36:30 Howard: Yes, I know that 22:36:47 Mark: You have more contacts with these other orgs to put toe in water 22:36:59 ...OMG has put forward with a special interest group 22:37:03 ...starting to bring awareness 22:37:13 Mark: The case to developers stuck with UML 22:38:17 Karen: W3C is speaking with caBIG representatives 22:38:21 ...have some IP questions 22:38:31 HOward: caBIG said they don't do triple stores 22:38:45 ...in that area one of things that needs to happen is an active educational session 22:38:51 ...run software to disprove myths 22:39:03 Who are the caBIG representatives participating in the discussions? 22:39:11 Mark: What's fair to say...is that industry is looking at SemWeb 22:39:15 s/Howard/Harold 22:39:24 Harold: Stonebreaker 22:39:35 Q: was he going to column data bases 22:39:42 ack Masao 22:39:46 ack Karen 22:39:53 Masao: I am interested in this area 22:40:03 ...What kind of engineer or researcher do you want to join from Asia 22:40:12 ...drug person 22:40:16 ...drug company person 22:40:17 Q: Who are the caBIG representatives participating in the discussions? 22:40:24 Scott: Somebody who will bring a programmer with them 22:40:41 ...so someone who can apply programming, since it's one of the bottlenecks 22:40:50 ...I have been waiting for years for some things 22:41:10 Scott: Need a clear idea of what they want to get; someone who has data 22:41:49 Eric: Need relevance 22:42:43 Scott: We can make extra teleconferences to try to work it out 22:43:07 Scott: So RO1, in US 22:43:12 ...from Mark 22:43:19 Mark: Europeans can apply, but harder 22:43:34 Mark: Lots of ways people in this room and community could benefit from some of services we have 22:43:38 ..raise the number of believers 22:43:45 ...it's in everyone's interest 22:43:57 ...NIH has not been favorable toward grants involving software engineering 22:44:07 More at: http://www.bioontology.org/how-to-collaborate 22:44:09 ...One mechanism would be one of these collaborating projects 22:44:27 Kei: Ooes NIH fund community work? 22:44:35 ...NSF does community based 22:44:40 Mark: It's unual 22:44:51 ...are some special requests to create consortia, but those are rare 22:45:10 Scott: Along similar lines, EPI is interested in SemWeb approaches 22:45:15 ...Eric and I talked to them about it 22:45:22 ...about the gene atlas 22:45:28 ...exposing as RDF 22:45:30 s/EPI/EBI 22:45:59 ...This is a myth that people think going for SemWeb is a choice between RDF and Rel databases 22:46:11 ...It's possible to do both an complement each other 22:46:17 ...data warehousing and federation 22:46:53 Q: From a relational data base, you can flip back into an RDF representation on the fly 22:46:59 Scott: Yes, that's what Eric was there for 22:47:06 ...he has written software to do that 22:47:26 Part of caBIG is caArray 22:47:30 ...I work with both groups 22:47:33 ...Anatar 22:47:36 ...From HTab 22:47:43 ...Let's you produce your files 22:48:00 ...caArray is interested in people accessing their cancer gene expression experiments 22:48:13 Scott: There were two people who attended caBIG in March 22:48:26 Harold: Gilberto Fragosio 22:48:34 Trish: Dave Howe 22:48:44 Scott: They were also there for shared names 22:48:49 Harold: Primary attraction for some 22:49:05 ...original health care identifier morphed into HCLS 22:49:17 Josh: There is ongoing interest in caBIG community to apply SemWeb tech 22:49:28 ...not make it an either or choice, but a complement 22:49:39 EricP: A certain amount of infrastructure you need to invest 22:49:54 ...convince them that the "SemWeb hippies" will have some longevity 22:50:10 Jeff Abbott: I come from systems engineering background and human decision factors background 22:50:17 ...It's just hard to get people to change 22:50:20 ...has to have a demo 22:50:24 ...proof is in the pudding 22:50:28 ...I would like to help with that 22:50:47 ...In San Diego, they are fighting about whether to call themselves systems engineers or enterprise architects 22:50:52 ...I would love to do a demo 22:50:57 ...I am building an HSI template 22:51:05 ...It's mandatory 22:51:08 ...I'm building a template 22:51:14 Scott: SemWeb also has another myth 22:51:27 ...that people think about having some giant cloud of ontology 22:51:31 ...before you can do something 22:51:38 ...Whereas a software engineering approach 22:51:53 ...A guy from AstraZeneca, was talking about knowledge management 22:51:57 ...he talked about policy level 22:52:05 ...and how hard it was to share info inside the organization 22:52:15 ...I asked if he would implement on a SemWeb basis 22:52:18 ...and share outside 22:52:20 ...He was for it 22:52:32 ...A lot of people at that level don't think about that aspect 22:52:41 ...SemWeb as an interoperability layer 22:52:51 ...it's not obvious to everybody, esp. those thinking about policies 22:53:06 jeff: They may be thinking about other misgivings; you should ask them 22:53:16 Scott: In pharma, you need to have access control 22:53:23 ...Eric has presented an approach 22:53:28 ...control who can access what data 22:53:39 ...by injecting user certificates into the query itself 22:53:49 Eric: Stick it next to part of query you want to restrict the access to 22:54:13 Scott: So if you could get hospital IT to use access control, they can control data and should be happy 22:54:21 ...Still it's technically possible 22:54:39 Jeff: I did a project five years ago, people wanted to keep their data bases to themselves 22:54:46 ...we had to do a lot of training and education 22:54:50 ...It's a big obstacle 22:54:57 ...Have to see what their concerns are 22:55:05 Scott: Another tact for engineers 22:55:36 Eric: Mechanical engineers like the explicit graph 22:55:50 ...data model simplicity and publishing are clear 22:56:08 Scott: Any other ideas about resources 22:56:23 ...I am strongly in favor of grants that would take members of this HCLS community along 22:56:27 ...and give us more resources 22:56:38 ...Some efforts to hire Eric that way, for example 22:56:45 ...someone from W3C who can do more of that work 22:56:50 ...beyond membership 22:57:06 ...I hope there are other people who can come up with grant ideas and proposals to help move things along 22:57:16 ...One evolved out of an ELS proposal 22:57:28 Kei: Yes, we need to pursue this 22:57:36 ...It takes a long time 22:57:44 ...nine months to a year 22:57:53 ...before you get the funding 22:58:52 Harold: What about speakers from this group? 22:59:03 Scott: Susie, Eric and I do our best to spreak the work around 22:59:14 ...We just visited EBI, Uniprot, BioIT 22:59:27 ...Pharma IT, SemWeb PRISM Forum 22:59:38 ...Everytime I talk about HCLS, there are people who are interested 22:59:44 Harold: So we can send invites 22:59:47 ...good to know 22:59:57 ...So let's take a break and be on schedule 23:00:32 Harold: Yes, and I'll do my talk when we come back 23:00:37 -ElgarPichler 23:08:39 andreasplendiani has joined #HCLS 23:16:53 masao has joined #hcls 23:17:36 I need to leave the call now, bye everyone! 23:17:41 -??P3 23:32:00 thanks for coming matthias_samwald! 23:35:54 andreasplendiani has joined #HCLS 23:36:03 Jeffery has joined #hcls 23:39:40 csma has joined #HCLS 23:41:04 Karen_ has joined #hcls 23:41:51 Zakim, who is here? 23:41:51 On the phone I see HCLSf2f 23:41:52 On IRC I see Karen_, csma, Jeffery, andreasplendiani, masao, Karen, allen, mm, egonw, LenaDeus, RRSAgent, Zakim, matthias_samwald, Cloud, ericP 23:42:14 Scott: Ok, let's continue 23:42:22 Harold: So Semantic Wiki 23:42:33 ...much can be found on the ontolog site 23:42:34 scribenic: Karen_ 23:42:46 ..Focus on Semweb wiki 23:43:05 ...Here is BioMOBY on wikipedia 23:43:12 ...If it's red, it has not been created yet 23:43:36 ...So I can get invited in different ways 23:43:43 ...This is full of wonderful facts we would like to mine 23:43:50 ...but can only do it using some sort of MLP 23:43:51 nigam has joined #hcls 23:43:59 ...Would be realy interesting to get that into triples 23:44:03 ...similarly 23:44:08 ...an entertaining problem 23:44:23 [looking for scroll bar, go to bottom] 23:44:35 ...Someone has assigned BioMOBY to a couple of categories 23:44:37 ...How this is done 23:44:43 ...Cut down HTML 23:44:50 ...link to something else inside 23:44:55 ...a registry of web services 23:44:58 ...which we link 23:45:07 ...someone put SemanticMoby in brackets 23:45:10 ...Go to bottom 23:45:17 ...and here are our the category links 23:45:22 ...The Semantic Wikipedia people 23:45:25 ...looked at this 23:45:39 ...and knows that BioMOBY belongs to category bioinformatics 23:45:49 ...They said BioMOBY is an instance 23:46:06 ...So we can glean the fact that Bioinformatics is a subclass of informatics 23:46:11 ...What's missing, to make it complete 23:46:29 ...Utilizes RDF 23:46:40 ...The verb is sitting out here 23:46:44 ...So we extend the syntax 23:46:53 ...and put your connector inside the brackets 23:46:58 ...now I have triple 23:47:06 ...BioMOBY...Utilizes...RDF 23:47:13 ...that is what they did 23:47:24 ...the addition of this to extend media wiki into semantic media wiki 23:47:35 ...So once you get semantic media wiki, I can edit pages 23:47:45 mscottm has joined #hcls 23:49:17 ...So I created this property 23:49:28 ...Scroll down to bottom, so when you hit a property, you can find relationships 23:49:37 ...And building something that looks like a triple store 23:49:41 ...What we are fighting to correct 23:49:53 ...It's so close to a triple store, it's frustrating that it's not [laughs] 23:49:59 ...The semantic media wiki people 23:50:07 ...believe that the text should be the source of the information 23:50:13 ...and the embedded info should be the objects 23:50:17 ...We are working with Ontoprise 23:50:29 ...We want a triple store behind this that goes both directions 23:50:35 ...So that's coming slowly 23:50:45 Eric: So I do a SPARQL update that creates a new protein 23:50:46 please provide "state of interest HCLS as a pdf file 23:50:55 ...and go to wiki page and it's sparsely populated 23:51:02 ...What I wrote into triple store 23:51:07 ...and read from wiki side, what do I see? 23:51:11 ...Looking for ideas 23:51:12 andreasplendiani has joined #HCLS 23:51:16 Harold: One thing you can do 23:51:19 ...is through a URL 23:51:24 ...but I'm doing it manually 23:51:31 ...I can pull what's recorded in wiki in RDF 23:51:40 ...You can pull stuff out in Jason 23:51:48 ...and use an Ajax server for other devices 23:51:52 ...By going to URLs 23:51:57 ...They have added 23:52:29 [Harold looking] 23:52:44 ...This should look familiar to people who know MIT Simile project 23:52:48 ...a neat way to do RDF data 23:52:59 ...You can select, slice and dice and organize as tables different view 23:53:02 ...of triple data 23:53:05 ...MIT did this 23:53:18 ...What's nice is this one has embedded a SPARQL test query 23:53:29 ...put in an ask and everything that has this relationship 23:53:44 ...with oncology lesion measurement 23:53:51 ...look at domain 23:53:55 ...look at formats 23:54:03 ...this is a SPARQL like query language 23:54:17 ...Allows you to construct pages and do fancy queries 23:54:23 ...Then become exportable in RDF and OWL 23:54:28 ...It's almost RDF 23:54:35 ..So almost an RDF end point 23:54:41 Scott: It's Exhibit 23:54:57 Harold: It builds itself almost like a mini triple store 23:55:16 ...So we have idea of creating, querying the triples 23:55:25 Nagim: This does not look like semantic media wiki 23:55:30 ...not embedded in some container 23:55:38 Harold: That's what's nice about media wiki 23:55:43 ...If there is something you want to do 23:55:53 ...somebody else has probably wanted to do it, too 23:56:03 ...So you select which solution fits your use case best 23:56:10 ...This is one of hundreds of little add-ons 23:56:15 ...Turned out to be useful 23:56:39 Nagim: But what I'm saying is that it's something else 23:56:47 Harold: no, it's semantic media wiki 23:57:10 ...This is one called category tree 23:57:16 ...showing that we loaded SNOMED CT 23:57:20 ...How we use it 23:57:30 ...the Ontolog people have created set of extensions called HALO 23:57:36 ...If I'm editing 23:57:41 ...mentioning properties 23:57:45 ...You can do an inline search 23:57:49 ...gene is a biomarker up 23:57:53 ...define properties 23:57:57 ...this one defined by NCI 23:58:13 ...This is another set of tools, the auto completion
