Hi, Just a quick comment. We used to have a Semantic Web / BioPAX workgroup, which probably partially overlaps with the intentions of the W3C Sys Bio Group. The workgroup has been stale for a while, essentially because of a lack of time from who was supposed to organize it... but we just had so

Hi, probably there is not much difference. But with Semantic Web data, insight into the structure of data is more of a key, as you don't have "schemas". If I query a database, I would look at tables to understand a structure. If I look a at a Semantic Web knowledge base, perhaps visualization is

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

Sorry, what's the AAA principle ? It seems to me ignoring is not a problem. In case, thinking that you don't ignore anything is against the SemWeb framework. Ciao, Andrea -Original Message- From: public-semweb-lifesci-requ...@w3.org [mailto:public-semweb-lifesci-requ...@w3.org] On Beha

Hi, What is "meaning" for you ? For what comes to my mind, either you consider an explicit set of statements, and then this device will be pointless. Or you consider something that carries some information, and this rule out almost only white noise. What do you have in mind ? Ciao, Andrea
