Minutes
Attendees: Egon, Elizabeth, Don, Kei, Bosse, Chris, Anja, Oktie
<Susie> Anja gives a review of the work she's done
<Susie> Anja: 3 data sets RDFized
<Susie> Anja: DrugBank on generic drugs
<Susie> Anja: DailyMed on brand drugs
<Susie> Anja: Diseasome on diseases and associated gene
<Susie> Anja: All data sets can be linked
<Susie> Anja: Links to Bio2RDF: pubmed, KEGG, etc.
<Susie> Anja: Have linked to dbpedia
<Susie> Anja: And can link to LinkedCT.gov
<Susie> Anja: Need connections to LinkedCT
<Susie> Chris: Drugbank is mainly interlinking hub as can get to diseasome, DailyMed, Bio2RDF
<Susie> Anja: Now need to focus on the path through the cloud
<Susie> Anja: LinkedCT is currently just linked to dbpedia
<Susie> Anja: Several links between data sets
<Susie> Anja: Using different identifiers
<Susie> Anja: If see error please let Anja know
<Susie> Susie: Susie & Bosse in IT aren't experts in terms of working with the data
<Susie> Susie: Will guide as best as we can, but will want to share work with scientists
<Susie> Anja: Can view in HTML at the Free University of Berlin
<Susie> Anja: But it's not ideal
<AnjaJentzsch> Marbles link for Alzheimer's disease: http://beckr.org/marbles?uri=http://www4.wiwiss.fu-berlin.de/diseasome/resource/diseases/74
<Susie> Anja: Are using Marbles for the mashups
<Susie> Chris: But can be slow because there is so much data
<Susie> Chris: Need a bigger machine for better performance
<Susie> Chris: Currently, running on a machine in an Amazon could that isn't powerful enough
<Susie> Susie: Has anyone come across http://squin.sourceforge.net/
<Susie> Susie: Sometimes hard to know how to define a use case for browsing rather than querying
<Susie> Chris: Navigation allows you to discover things that you aren't aware of
<AnjaJentzsch> Varenicline (drug) on Marbles: http://beckr.org/marbles?uri=http://www4.wiwiss.fu-berlin.de/drugbank/resource/drugs/DB01273
<Susie> Chris: To get the paper published we need to have a good use case and motivation
<Susie> Mathhias: Could identify shortcomings
<Susie> Chris: Can't focus on known problems
<Susie> Chris: We didn't cache the data so it's not suprising that it's slow
<Susie> Bosse: challenge in integrating data exists with or without linked data
<Susie> Bosse: Team with different expertise can navigate the data and find things relevant to their domains
<Susie> Bosse: This isn't possible with other technologies
<Susie> Bosse: Need vision, and then we should be able to demonstrate it
<Susie> Egon: Has anyone looked at derived data?
<Susie> Susie: Potentially start a use case from the idea of forming a collaboration
<Susie> Kei: Could be interesting
<Susie> Bosse: Normally not interested in business oriented things
<Susie> Bosse: If designing a trial, you want to see what others are doing, and you can learn from it
<egonw> Susie, don't want to knock you down at all, but I think pharma will not share compound activities they find really interesting...
<Susie> Chris: Could include 2 use cases
<Susie> Bosse: Can work on a scenario and see if it's possible on Thursday or Friday
<egonw> I think I could bring in a use case from data modeling, where aggregating data is typically a problem
<Susie> Chris: More details is better
<Susie> Bosse: Agree on vision of crossing domains
<Susie> Chris: Tuesday is very final deadline
<Susie> Bosse: Finishes pharma specific motivation by lunchtime on Saturday
<Susie> Chris: I'll add generic Linked Data, and reference to Bio2RDF, LinkedCT, etc by Sunday evening
<Susie> Susie: I'll aim to complete collaboration use case by end of Thursday, but it may end up being Friday.
<Susie> Bosse: I'll aim to finish use case section by Sunday
<Susie> Anja: I'll finish data set section by Saturday
<Susie> Susie: I'll draft the outlook section by Sunday evening
<Susie> Susie: If anyone has thoughts about the outlook section please add them to http://esw.w3.org/topic/HCLSIG/LODD/Business
<Susie> Susie: Lets write the paper in Word
<Susie> Susie: I'll set up a google doc
<Susie> http://beckr.org/marbles?uri=http://www4.wiwiss.fu-berlin.de/drugbank/resource/drugs/DB01273
<Susie> http://beckr.org/marbles?lang=en&uri=http://www4.wiwiss.fu-berlin.de/diseasome/resource/diseases/74
<Susie> Kei: Nice to have a bookmark as starting point to the Linked Data
<egonw> Egon: a greasemonkey script could help here...
<egonw> Egon: which would add a link to LinkedData from wikipedia pages (using DBPedia)
<egonw> Susie: egon.willighagen@gmail.com
<egonw> Egon: it's indeed a short time frame... but might still write up thought, which I would email, not add to the GDoc
<AnjaJentzsch> we have the d2r servers for each dataset as starting points
