Because of the holidays, we will not have a TERM call on 12/23 or 12/30.
We'll start up again on January 6.

I realized that the reference to NIH Reporter did not take folks to the
actual page that reports NIH funded studies using the SW tools ant tech.
Attached is a CSV file listing active projects (15) and another with
pubs from these projects. This I think is one of the most concrete
measures of im
Hi,
I think to make a case for use of Semantic Web technologies one has to
distinguish solution providers and companies which actually make use of these
technologies, better if in mission critical operations.
So sponsors won't bring that far. Except that, of course, being able to cite
that Orac

hi all,
indeed an interesting question, some great replies. most of the companies
i've seen making use of semantic technologies aren't necessarily focused
on life sciences, they are more generally focused on business
intelligence. but their technologies can also provide benefits to life
sciences
Hi,
I think any proposal in terms of "you can do something you could no do before"
is tricky.
Theoretically, we are still dealing with Turing Machines ;)
More seriously, the issue is not doing something you couldn't do with other
technologies, but:
- do something with less resources than other
Hi,
It would be interesting to setup a list of companies which makes a
mission-critical use of semantic-web technologies.
This could start to be some good evidence on the impact of these technologies.
Does anybody knows if such a list exists ?
STI people have a list of Semantic Web companies, but
Olivier, this is similar to the Ontolog forum main topic for 2011 "making
the case for ontologies"; a bit closer to those discussions we had the OCAS
(Ontologies Come of Age in the Semantic Web) workshop. I have found it
difficult to make the case for semantic technologies with mainstream tech

Oliver,
Elsevier uses semantic technologies (i.e. OWL ontologies, a Linked Data
Repository, metadata in RDF) throughout all of our content management, search
and annotation systems. If OWL/RDF were to evaporate tomorrow, our products

Several people sent their regrets, so we will cancel the teleconference today.
I suggest we coordinate further action via the mailing list or Google Group.
The next teleconference will be on January 5 next year.
Cheers,

Hi Oliver,
I think it's hard to find this form of "breakthrough evidence" and this may
even be counterproductive to convince people.
If you present a high-level, breakthrough result (say, we save lives), than you
leave two open questions:
- how much of this is dependent on the computational supp

That's a good point.
But my argument, and borrowing Jeff Bezos words (when he introduced amazon
cloud technologies to the world), is that "Semantic web technologies does
the muck so that physicians and life sciences researchers don't have to"!

Hi Lena,
"Although this was not achieved using the LODD cloud or semantic web
technologies, it illustrates the same type of network analysis that we are
trying to enable for linked life sciences and health care data. "
Then it is a problematic example -- after all this could also be interpreted
