All, this has been an extension of my work on magetab2rdf ( http://magetab2rdf.googlecode.com) for the caBIG Information Representation Working Group, which has been looking at mapping the caBIG Life Sciences Domain Analysis Model (LS-DAM) into existing ontologies. We chose a use case that had its

Hi all, just a few things. We are adding a very similar export of data from the SampleTAB format (http://nar.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2011/11/16/nar.gkr937.full), with the idea to integrate these two sources of data in a unified representation. I've seen the diagram in the mail titl

hi tim, thanks for your comments, i'll be interested to see how the Factors are related to the assays, not sure how subclasses would work since one actually needs different factor values for the factors, i.e. a time factor can't tell you where in the time sequence the assay was done. interest

Hi Michael, Thanks for your comments. I appreciate them. I've incorporated the one about factors into a subsequent version of the model, and decided to pass on the protocol relationships to data output, for pragmatic reasons, although I am certain you are formally correct. Factors were associ

Hi Vijay & all, So essentially, you'd like to aggregate single-visit epidemiological studies? And this paper [1] is just an example? It seems like you'd need to identify the factors of interest--e.g. disease, selection criteria, research questions--and aggregate on those. Someone who actually

hi lena, it looks like it is actually an indication of possibly a bad alignment mapping (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2813481/) "MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short (20–23 nt) RNAs that are sequence-specific mediators of transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of gene expr

This is great, Michael, Thank! I assume the read per million have to do with normalization/QC of the data. Any idea what the "cross map to other miRNA forms means"; by the name, I assume these are miRNA that can target more than one gene. Now the question is: should we blindly create an RDF repre
