Dear all,
Apology that I missed today's presentation due to conflicting engagement.
I believe that we have had strong demonstration that LOD is right way to
go for data sharing and open access. But for HCLS, we still have way to
go to prove its efficiency for supporting data analysis kind of tasks.
And effective data visualization is a must towards this goal!
Although I have also been one benefiting from reusing existing
visualization tools for presenting SW data, I am also a strong believer
on customized tools and presentations. A lot of existing tools could be
too generic to be useful for HCLS data and use cases particularly.
I've been using various js libraries and Google APIs to build heatmap
kind of visualizations for gene expression data, to assist biologist to
identify tissue-specific genes [1]. Everything underneath is SW
technology powered. This same framework has been used by the LODD task
in 2009's triplication challenge.
I'll be happy to join force building useful visualizations of hcls data
based on constructive use cases. So count me in!

Hi all, it was indeed an interesting meeting. Definitely the topic is
really interesting, here is a nice review paper about visualizing linked

I will circulate the use cases (over the weekend) and some other info that
I have gathered; also, I have relfinder, visor and sig.ma (not sure about
this last one because my server crashed a month ago and sig.ma is no longer
available for the general community to download), I will share those links
as well.
Best.

Indeed, lots of exciting opportunities here :)
I started a wiki page to capture the essence of a task force and relevant

you're more than welcome to contribute to this document (add your name
too), and we'll soon discuss meeting times etc

Hi all,
During the telco today Eric mentioned http://www.distilbio.com/ , which
was apparently built on top of exhibit3, seems like a great way to start.
I would propose not to limit ourselves to "ways to visualize RDF graphs",
but to actually try to plug linked data into data visualization paradigms
already widely adopted, like dendrograms, heatmaps, sunburst plots, etc
Example of a heatmap built from a SPARQL query (medicines VS their
classes):

Finally, in the same lime of thinking, a TED talk by Jer Thorp (NYT)
about visualization -

There's lots of really REALLY cool js libraries that we could use for
very quickly prototyping!
Best,
Lena

Michel,
A task force on visualization is a great idea. And it would make sense
to have it aimed at and work with helping each of the other task forces
utilize visualization capabilities. It's something I've been thinking
about with respect to the work we did on the TMO/TMKB. How do we
demonstrate beyond sparql queries?
cheers,
joanne

Hi all,
At today's HCLS Life Sciences Forum (see minutes [1]) we had Alex
Garcia present on the topic of RDF visualization, indeed important for the
whole of the HCLS community. In addition to a Semantic Web Journal review
article [2], is anybody aware of comprehensive lists of use-cases for human
computer interaction with semantic web data (e.g. browse, search, query,
discovery)?
Second, I would like to gauge the interest of our community in
visualization, and whether it would be worthwhile to set up a task force
around HCLS visualization (use cases, requirements, tools and technologies,
collaborative development, deployment, evaluation). Please reply indicating
your interest.
Cheers!
