HCLS March 1 TC MinutesWe attempted internal narration for our recent demo,
which was a good exercise in finalizing the script with professionals in
most areas except voice overs, but after the fact it was unanimous that we
should seek a voice pro. After quite a search we found a real pro at
exceptional pricing, and she has significant experience in life science and
technology. She's also a pleasure to work with. I recommend Marty Peterson
highly-

d) Previous Actions items:

ITEM: Revisit Next Week
ii. Vipul to invite Stan Huff to present his work to this group -
ACTION ITEM: Revisit Next Week
iii. Task forces' draft pages -
Draft Notes, Eric, Vipul submitted link, Susie: what are these notes? We
are focused on the demo at the moment, sole goal right now, URI note, who
owns? Eric: Please create a draft for BIO RDF Susan: we have pages that
have been written, but these are not action item deliverable, BIO RDF links
have been posted. URI note
http://esw.w3.org/topic/HCLSIG_BioRDF_Subgroup/Documents?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=getting-information.txt
Eric had difficulty retrieving notes deliverables from F2F meeting, we still
should be on track to produce the documents
iv. Summary of discussion between EricN and Alan on possibility of
including Tox data in the demo
Eric and Alan discussed question of any proposed therapeutic approaches,
potential clinical studies that show tox effects, Alan: limiting factor is
manpower, need someone to ID the use cases, once that is layed out, Matthias
and Alan can proceed, need a narrative, can you do that? Eric = we can
easily mangle data together, Alan: demo is focused on real uses, snippets,
but points will be technical points, doesn't have to be a connected
narrative, but illustrate queries, that even in a fragmented way, illustrate
how the data can be accessed using RDF, ACTION ITEM: Eric: I can deliver
probably deliver something in the time frame, Alan I need to know which are
the minimal things I need to connect to to create your story, just some
specific compounds,
v. AlanR "grocery list" of data and tools
I sent some out in the form of ideas of actual things to do in the demo -
posted to IRC - we'll talk more on Monday during the face to face, Eric P.
will not be able to attend design session, but bill be at the hacking
session, trying to convert GENSET, for data integration, trying to do demo
where a mapping is in place, then add a new mapping, requery and see new
results, will do this over cell types, for demoing specificity, will do
search against Google, compare with SPARQL query, for comparing standard
relational model from SQL to SPARQL, will want to show that when you have a
relational database, flash a relations diagram and struggle forward vs
SPARQL whereby you can pull the classes and properties and improve
discoverability efficiency, for Browsing, am thinking about different UI
approaches, can use a timeline illustration, graph illustration, show how
different visualization approaches work, Alan dropped these into IRC log,
Eric: will you be able to id URIs for different tissues - Alan spoke too
fast.. Vipul: alan, transitive closure? Alan - there is a nice one, taking
biopax and adding 4 superproperty relations and a transitive role, then
suddenly can do new queries, Vipul: also transitive closure over GO
relations Alan: one of the issues with doing this inside the triple store
is the question of the triple store supporting it
vi. BIRN data discussion
vii. F2F planning: demo hack session (Susie and Vipul)
Susie: Swann folks will host the meeting, will have phones in the room,
second F2F on the 13th of March to focus on linking the data sets together,
e) Additional WWW2007 planning
Susie - many opportunities to present the Demo, many conferences, Who will
present at WWW20007, IVAN: I need names of presenters, title into agenda by
end of day tomorrow, typically no more than 2 presenters, Eric : is the
HCLS track only? Ivan; No the W3C track, within 90 minutes devoted to
Semantic web, a 30 minutes lot, Eric; Alan should be one? Alan : can one
of the SWAN folks present on the science context, 4 minutes tops - IVAN -
Alan and Susie can handle... Alan: would be nice if Susie did this with me,
Ivan: I'm happy, send me a title ACTION Alan and Susie will propose
session to Ivan by tomorrow
Eric: additional planning, Kei - too much echo to scribe - plan is to
accept 8-10 papers for an entire day event, as we go along, if we refine
further, will let group know what the structure is, Eric; will post in
future TCs, Kei: aiming for 2 keynote speakers, one is Carole Goble,
looking for another one, ideally someone from industry, and 5 for a panel
discussion, Susie mentioned submission for ISMB, I will go ahead and
submit the HCLS paper we already written to special ISMB section on
"highlighted papers",
Next call is next week. review outcome of the Monday meeting
