<Susie> Open Data

<Susie> Anja: Drugbank is free for non commercial use

<Susie> Anja: Dailymed is free

<Susie> Anja: Diseasome is free

<Susie> Anja: STITCH is cc

<Susie> Anja: SIDER is cc

<Susie> Anja: Should still send mails to content providers

<Susie> Anja: Will draft the email and share

<Susie> Anja: Focus mail on publishing rather than interlinking

<Susie> Anja: Describe some of advantages

<Susie> Anja: Will draft by end of week in GoogleDoc

<Susie> Oktie: ClinicalTrials.gov has some terms and conditions

<Susie> Oktie: For example, keeping data up to date

<Susie> Oktie: Don't think there are any licensing problems

<Susie> Oktie: Should have updated version by the end of the week

<Susie> Oktie: Haven't reached out to LinkedCT, but maybe could do that

<Susie> Oktie: Will look at their t&c again, and may send mail

<Susie> Egon: Reached out to Bio2RDF about licensing

<Susie> Egon: Bio2RDF haven't typically contacted the data providers

<Susie> Egon: Do include licensing conditions

<Susie> Egon: Keep the data sources apart

<Susie> Egon: Which helps mitigate the linking problem

<Susie> Egon: Occassionally they have contact with data providers

<Susie> Egon: Mark Alexander may have more details on some of the data sets

<Susie> Egon: Some are published with cc licenses

<Susie> Egon: People typically want data to be shared

<Susie> Susie: Seems that we are good shape in terms of licensing

<Susie> Egon: In some cases universities are actually considered commercial entities

<Susie> Bosse: In order to persuade our companies to use linked data we need to be sure it's OK

<Susie> Bosse: could impact adoption of the technology

<Susie> Data Update

<Susie> Anja: Talis nodality from Aug/Sep. 2009 has an article on some of the licensing problems, etc.

<Susie> Anja: Matthias has made a new version of STITCH available

<Susie> Egon: Has chemistry data - from patents - small and large molecules

<Susie> Egon: 500,000 bioactive compounds

<Susie> Egon: Also includes activity data

<Susie> Egon: Suprised it's not already in RDF

<Susie> Oktie: HAven't heard from colleague about FDA related data sety

<Susie> Oktie: Believe data is available, but want to make sure the quality is good enough to make publicly available

<Susie> Susie: Ideas for other data sources

<Susie> Susie: Susie discusses drug ontology interest and possible alignment of ChEMBL

<Susie> Elgar: Definitely interest

<Susie> Susie: Colin Batchelor also interested in a drug ontology

<Susie> Outreach

<Susie> Susie: Matthias said missed deadline for ESWC

<Susie> Susie: But continuing to work on the TCM papwr

<Susie> Egon: Will send more details when available

<Susie> Egon: Availability of SPARQL queries over linked data

<Susie> Egon: Will have students focusd on queries over ChEMBL and other linked data source
