hi all,
on a different HCLS thread i saw this proposal from jeni tennison for
specifying a generic dataset, it might be a useful way to encode a list of
differentially expressed genes. it looks like one could do this encoding on
the fly, so that the data itself at the source could be in whatever format
is natural.

Subject: Re: Action Items from call today
Thanks, Helen.
To make it more concrete. I've been thinking about some example queries
that I hope can be answered by the RDF data once converted. I wonder if
the following example quereis can be answered:
Retrieve a list of differentially expressed genes between different brain
regions (e.g., hippocampus and entorhinal cortex) for normally aged human
subjects.
Retrieve a list of differentially expressed genes for the same brain
region of normal human subjects and AD patients.
Using these lists of genes one can issue (federated) queries to retrieve
addtional information about the genes for various types of analyses (e.g.,
GO term enrichment).
Just a thought.
Cheers,
-Kei

Hi
here are my action items from the call today
1. MAGE-TAB->RDF, Lena requested details.
Code here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/limpopo/
Java Parser for MAGE-TAB developed by EBI, used by several groups.
Contact Tony Burdett tburd...@ebi.ac.uk for details. Tony estimates for a
simple RDF dump a few days work. Lena if you are interested in working on
this java code please contact Tony as he's already designed with rdf
export in mind
2. MAGE-TAB->MAGE-ML - code from Junmin Liu at UPenn
https://sourceforge.net/projects/tab2mage/files/ - see mage2tab
Pretty much all public MAGE-ML comes from AE and is available from
Arrayexpress ftp dirs as mage-tab already. Exceptions are Rosetta's
mage-ml importer, and non public data
3. EBI experimental factor ontology (EFO) slides, attached
see also www.ebi.ac.uk/efo
4. Noted that an RDF dump of atlas data and triple store access will be
useful, we'll announce when these are available
thanks
Helen
