Dear Sci Discourse participants,
A reminder to dial in for this week's concall. Sudeshna Das is our
featured discussant and will put forward an integration approach for
discourse and experiments using the SAAGE project as a testbed, and
will be recruiting colleagues to participate in building a first-pass
integrated ontology. This is an opportunity for people interested in
the practice of constructing ontologies "very close to the ground",
that is, rooted in direct requirements and activities of practicing
biologists and using a minimalist "agile" approach.
Next call (March 20) John Madden from Duke University, who chairs the
HCLS Terminology task, will talk to us about SKOS and terminology.
There has been a lot of discussion about terminologies versus
ontologies, what they are each good for, and how to use them
judiciously. This will be a great opportunity to weigh in this
topic. SWAN/SIOC supports integration of SKOS terminologies and we
will discuss use cases for various kinds of terminologies, setting up
terminology libraries etc.
Best
Tim
