Hi,
this looks pretty comprehensive.
Below is the list of speakers:
* *M. Scott Marshall* (The W3C consortium). Where is the W3C now and
what should happen next?
* *Phil Brooks* (Eli Lilly), Semantic Web for Health Care and Life
Sciences <http://videolectures.net/iswc08_prudhommeaux_swhcls/>
(Tutorial)
* *Lee Harland *(Pfizer) Industry needs
* *Derek Scuffell *(Syngenta) Opportunities and minimum requirements
for industry
* *Phil Ashworth *(UCB) Industrial Strength Architectures for life
sciences, including considerations for federated search.
* *Don Jennings* (Eli Lilly) Experience of TopBraid, Integrating
semantic access to data within Lilly and building linked data maps
* *Laurent Alquier* (J&J) Intranet data integration using Semantic
MediaWiki
* *Nicolas Le Novère* (EMBL-EBI), the Importance of Semantics to
Systems Biology
* *Dietrich Rebholz-Schuhmann* (EMBL-EBI) Practical experiences from
the SESL (Semantic Enhancement of the Scientific Literature) project.
* *Jerven Bolleman* (SIB) Quality control using sparql and UniProt rdf
* *Jeremy Frey* (U. Southampton) Practical applications of semantic
web technology in Chemistry.
* *Dean Allemang* Examples of best practice from industry
* *Michel Dumontier* (Carleton University) Bio2RDF
* *Matthias Samwald,* (Medical University of Vienna), title TBC
=> 50 Attendees sounds right.
=> There has been some room for break-out sessions and the definition of
business needs / challenges
=> The workshop serves as one source of input to define the EBI's stand
on Semantic Web technology (past, present, future)
=> The IP workshop was followed by a two-day tutorial on Linked Data /
Ontologies / Semantic resources (Slides will be available soon)
Concerning Scott's email: there are a couple of resources (Triple
Stores) under development at the EBI, which are or will be available as
public resources and which distribute data of different kinds:
* SPARQL endpoints (UniProt, SESL, possibly ChEMBL)
* Triple Stores for download:
*** UniProt
*** SESL: Diabetes driven data integration, incl. ArrayExpress, UniProt,
publisher data, in preparation
*** CALBC: several 100k Medline abstracts with a large number of
annotations, genes/proteins, diseases, chemical entities, species, all
about immunology
Stay tuned,

I didnt see these questions get answered so...
- The workshop was organised by me (Lee Harland, Pfizer), Derek
Scuffle (Syngenta), Dominc Clark & Nicolas Le Novere.
- There were about 50 people there, mostly industry and some invited
speakers & some EBI
- For those who dont know it, the EBI industry programme is a
subscription-based group that provides a mechanism for life science
industry to work directly with the EBI on strategy and addressing
needs. The workshop was part of a large series of workshops we run on
many different topics relevant to industry (google ebi industry
programme for more info). The aim of this was to allow industry to
chat about its experience with SW in an informal setting, away from
the pressure of big conferences, and to explore areas of collaboration
with the EBI
- There were no biotech representatives there; the EBI also runs an
SME forum which provides a similar mechanism for EBI & biotech to get
together. I dont know much more than this, but if interested Dominic
Clark is your man.
- Access to the presentations. I was going to speak to dominic about
this next week. Generally presentations are stored in a secure
website, which allows presenters (especially from companies) to be
sure their materials are not generally distributed. However, i think
many presenters whould be OK with this, so we will see what we can do...
- Finally, is this related to the Pistoia alliance.... The direct
answer is no. The EBI industry programme is a completely separate
entity and this was purely based on that. However, a significant
number of folks who are active in Pistoia (such as me) have also
worked long term with the EBI. the EBI is also a member of Pistoia
too. So, i think the best thing to say is that "there are great
connections between the 2 groups". Also the EBI is the lead on the
Pistoia SESL project (semantic enrichement of the scientific
literature - more details are available to those interested), so there
are firm connections between ebi & pistoia in the semantic area
I think that answers all the questions I've seen.... Happy to talk to
anyone about thoughts/opportunities etc. Within Pistoia we're actively
discussing where the semantic web fits, to that end there's an
interesting meeting coming up

are the presentations/program somewhere available?
was there any representative of a biotech company attending such
workshop?
is it somehow related to the Pistoia Alliance?
cheers,
