I'd like to suggest a broadening of these use cases in two ways.
(1) We have significant involvement (at least for now) from some
people with an outstanding community web resource on Alzheimer
Disease, the Alzforum (www.alzforum.org). It seems a shame not to
talk a little more about Alzheimer disease. I think June Kinoshita
might be willing to offer one or more very practical AD-related use
cases.
There is also the Neurocommons project, with a strong focus on HD.
My group, as well, works on projects in HD, Parkinson's and AD. How
dissimilar are these disorders in terms of the kinds of practical
problems of knowledge organization (and content requirements) faced
by researchers? I maintain, they are not much different.
(2) I suggest we think more about what information would be most
useful to scientists in determining what experiments to do, how to do
them, and how to interpret the results. More practical is better.
Best
Tim
