Dear all, We had a very productive call this morning, and are planning three things:
1) Joint work on annotation a corpus of documents with links to workflow components and data. This will allow a concrete instantiation of the medium-grained ontology, and offer a discussion point for describing the experiment/paper link which we are approaching from many different sides. Alex Garcia will jumpstart this process by making a collection of full-text Elsevier documents available which he has annotated with RDF; after seeing these, we will select a subcorpus to mark up a) Data b) Experimental model c) Key discourse components from, and work to make a demonstrator. 2) A paper. Discussing our various models, and ways to integrate; include discussion re. overlap/difference between (explicit, personal) knowledge in discourse and (implicit, shared) knowledge that underlies experimental models. Could be possible outcome of demo. 3) A face-to-face meeting. Kees van Bochove has kindly agreed to organise this. Possible venues: ISMB in Vienna, ICBO in Buffalo, or a one-off workshop in hte Netherlands. Topic: Experiment/discourse integration: models, examples, and next steps. Specifically, Kees wants to discuss with whoever might be interested in co-organising this face to face: -- work plan: what do we want to achieve --> which outcome would we like from the symposium: when are we happy? -- (candidate) attendee list -- options for date/time/place If you are interested in participating in any of these parts, can you please either share to the people on this list, or indicate this at or before the next meeting? Any other comments are most welcome, as well. With thanks to everyone on the call today, best, - Anita.

These include: - Alex's points below - links between the paper and workflow and experimental ontologies; - The connection (and if there is one) between nanopublications/triples/research highlights (will explain on the call) and medium-grained structure - Uses for medium-grained structure mark up: what would be a good set of use cases? Can we find some concrete projects to work on? - An issue that has been discussed on a few calls now which we can also discuss is the difference between data, author's intent, persuasive structure and nanopublication-type summaries. - A point that Joanne raised: can we plan a meeting to discuss this stuff in person? I am sure much more will come up, once we start talking. Feel free to send around more questions before the call, so we have a list of them to consider before we start. Thanks, and look forward to talking to you tomorrow, Best, - Anita.

Hi Jodi, nice talk. As a general question, shouldn't the description of experiments be something to be described by domain specific ontologies? Also, there are repositories for experiments, e.g Array express for microarrays; there are also minimal standards for reporting several experimental procedures, shouldn't the sections in the document make use of, pointing to, these resources? if ORB and other document related ontologies go into describing experimental information I am afraid it may be difficult to maintain and not very practical to implement. fine-graining ORB should, in my opinion, make use of other ontologies for addressing domain specific issues. for instance, if a researcher wants to go deeper into materials and methods most likely the information that will allow him/her to "replicate" the experiment will be living somewhere else in the web; also, most likely there will be an ontology for specific experimental procedures, measures, etc involved. Once the structure of the document is solved it is easy to use resources such as bio2rdf to resolve it against existing resources in the web. if not, then authors can easily point to these external resources -AO can easily deal with such a use case. my point is, experimental information is highly domain specific and there are now ontologies (OBI) and repositories for experimental information as well as efforts for standardizing minimal amounts of information (http://www.mibbi.org/index.php/Main_Page) for reporting specific experimental procedures, shouldn't the fine grained structure of ORB seek to make use of these resources?
