  • <cdenney> Matthias: Scientific Discourse - coordinating; no major milestones
  • <cdenney> Susie: They have integrated SWAN with SIOC
  • <cdenney> Susie: Now exploring integrating the experiment ontology that Lilly developed; how attributes related to experiment; discussion on how to integrate this.
  • <cdenney> Scott: Terminology - server that John Madden has running will be used rathen than getting linux machines
  • <cdenney> Scott: offering services of programmer he has
  • <cdenney> Scott: conversations about what can/cannot be viewed in SNOMED; may be best for terminology vs. linking into ontology
  • <mscottm> https://agfa.webex.com/agfa/j.php?ED=116104087&UID=1047458292&PW=a94de727223e43
  • <cdenney> Mark: Demo for Web 2.0 + Web 3.0 = Web 5.0?
  • <matthias_samwald> the slides are also attached to the wiki page at http://esw.w3.org/topic/HCLSIG/Meetings/2009-02-05_Conference_Call it seems...
  • <cdenney> Mark: Project for about the last year
  • <cdenney> Mark: left side of ontology spectrum is MESH, right side is informal user
  • <cdenney> Mark: division between formal and informal user
  • <ericP> fabulous distinction!
  • <marco> I'm afraid I (Marco) have to leave now, but I was lucky enough to have seen Mark's talk at SWAT4LS. Have fun and hear you soon!
  • <cdenney> Mark: Frames (Properties) is a key division area
  • <cdenney> Mark: the likelyhood of being right pops up at the Frames (Properties) area
  • <cdenney> Mark: Semantic web cannot be on the left of the line, must be on the right side of the line
  • <cdenney> Mark: SADI - Semantic ? ? ?
  • <cdenney> Mark: web services expose the relationship between gene and sequence
  • <cdenney> Mark: SHARE demo
  • <cdenney> Mark: will send out the web site
  • <cdenney> Mark: could answer query without a SPARQL endpoint
  • <cdenney> Mark: if there is no database, it slips to SADI to generate a database
  • <cdenney> Mark: can input data into a BLAST
  • <cdenney> Mark: Cardio Share demo - extends SADI to understand OWL classes
  • <cdenney> Mark: web services to resolve predicate
  • <cdenney> Mark: can define property pointing to an algorithm (e.g. increasingcreatinine)
  • <cdenney> Mark: ontology = query = workflow
  • <cdenney> Mark: and ontology = hypothesis
  • <cdenney> Mark: working with cardiac surgery data to duplicate outcomes research with OWL
  • <cdenney> Mark: works for NCBI or cases where we don't have SPARQL endpoints
  • <cdenney> Mapping between ontologies and web services? What is involved?
  • <cdenney> Mark: doesn't believe in traditional web services and XML schema; theirs are put http post to get a graph in return
  • <cdenney> Mark: these are pure post services
  • <cdenney> Mark: still working on the api for the registry and service writers
  • <cdenney> Mark: the WSDL could be an ontology with input (based on property restrictions) and output (based on property restrictions)
  • <cdenney> Mark: gives the biological relationship that the service uncovers
  • <cdenney> Mark: web service has to produce and consume RDF
  • <cdenney> Mark: (rather than XML schema)
  • <cdenney> Mark: we need to stop looking at legacy (XML) and move forward to RDF
  • <cdenney> Will NCBI and others be motivated to exchange via RDF?
  • <cdenney> Mark: give it 3-4 weeks; they will have a layer that generates connections
  • <cdenney> Mark: talk at C-SHALS about this
  • <cdenney> Susie: Lets all meet after the HCLS Tutorial at C-SHALS to discuss this further
  • <cdenney> Scott: F2F update
  • <mscottm> http://esw.w3.org/topic/HCLSIG/Meetings/2009-04-30_F2F

1 Minute Guide to IRC (Thanks to John Madden!)

  • If you do not have an IRC client installed on your computer, you can get one of the many free one (search "irc client" and your platform), or you can use a web-based client.

One possible web-based client you might try is Mibbit (http://www.mibbit.com/chat/). If you use mibbit, fill out the blanks like this: you need to click on "Server" (highlighted in red in png) to reveal the "Server address" field. NOTE: this meeting will use "hcls" channel, NOT "hcls2" as seen in the image.

(Note that I suggest using port 80 from mibbit. The W3C irc server supports this, and it neatly bypasses enterprise firewall issues that many users seem to be having with port 6667.)
