Congratulations on this success and the great exposure it brings to your work and to the increasingly useful application of semantic technologies in HCLS!
Nice WSJ article, too. :) Bob Stanley IO Informatics -----Original Message----- From: Helena Deus [mailto:helenad...@gmail.com] Sent: Saturday, November 02, 2013 7:07 AM To: W3C HCLSIG hcls Subject: Semantic Web Challenge winner - in HCLS domain Dear All, The judges of the ISWC 2013 Semantic Web Challenge chose as the winner of the Big Data Track this year a work that fits entirely in the health care/life sciences integration domain. This work would not have been possible if it weren't for the fruitful conversations and interactions enabled by this mailing list. So, congrats to all! Here is an article about it in the Wall Street Journal: http://online.wsj.com/article/PR-CO-20131030-909839.html?dsk=y "Big Data Track challenge winner: "Fostering Serendipity through Big Linked Data" by Muhammad Saleem, Maulik R. Kamdar, Aftab Iqbal, Shanmukha Sampath, Helena F. Deus and Axel-Cyrille Ngonga Ngomo; this system shows how high volume and high velocity of latest published bio-medical research papers from PubMed can be intelligently and semantically integrated within the Linked Cancer Genome Atlas dataset (TCGA), thus supporting and facilitating cancer researchers in their important work. "We were very impressed to see this year's challengers address real world problems and in some cases already see them having a societal impact. The winners of the 2013 SWC have successfully combined innovative semantic web technology with an end user practical focus and efficiency in use," explained SWC co-chairs Andreas Harth, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and Sean Bechhofer, University of Manchester."
