I think it would be good to show this at the demo - it demonstrates
that "view source" is effective for the semantic web.

However, the Mouse BIRN Atlas Toolkit (MBAT) contributing
programmers have succeeded in using some of the demo (the Allan
Brain Atlas (ABA) RDF repository and GoogleMaps/JS-HTML template
Alan created) to integrate ABA data in a semantically relevant
manner into the MBAT atlasing environment. I was able to quickly
Skype Alan in last week as they demo'd this for the Mouse BIRN
group. I think it would be a wonderful example of how SemWeb made
it possible for BIRN to achieve a "lite" integration of a complex,
related image repository (ABA) with the primary cost being to learn
how to use Jena for SPARQL queries and to enhance Alan's original
GoogleMaps/JS-HTML template by running it in Java HTML Browser
where they could also include thumbnails of the entire coronal or
sagittal series - as well as links to the NeuroCommons "related
literature" repository. These were all experienced Java coders
(really two lead programmers) who started with NO knowledge of RDF
or SemWeb Tech in late April while working on many other tasks in
parallel. Given the glacial pace some of these joint
neuroinformatics projects move at, I think what they were able to
achieve with a hours invested per week over several weeks is truly
quite remarkable.
If others feel it's relevant, this could be added to the ISMB demo
as an example of how quickly others have been able to make
effective use of this SemWeb demo application.
This will certainly be shown at the Society for Neuroscience Mouse
BIRN MBAT presentations in November, as will use of the exact same
interface against other multi-resolution image pyramids (the
Zoomify format used by ABA) collected in other Mouse BIRN related
projects such as the Cell-Centered Database (CCDB) and the Mouse
Brain Library (MBL) projects.
Please let me know whether you think it would be appropriate to
include this in the ISMB demo, and I'll have the MBAT folks get in
touch.
Cheers,
Bill

Eric,
It is planned to be the same demo with a few additions to the
query, including some additional visualizations.
Folks on the HCLSIG mailing list, please add your name to the
following page if you are planning to attend ISMB2007: http://

We will use this to coordinate plans...

Great, I'll be there -- provided it doesn't overlap with my own
demo :-)
Is it the same demo that was presented in Banff, or is it being
updated?
btw would be interesting to know who is attending ISMB/ECCB/BOSC etc!
