* Unify API(s)
 
−
** Csongor: I started working on the "Lightweight API", i.e. the REST web services that will process biositemaps and will return an XML representation that can be consumed by iTools...
 
−
** Beth: I've started working on a 'consumer' api that locates and queries biositemaps... (http://appserver.ctaalliance.org/~bkirschn/biositemaps/index.html)
 
−
** The Stanford/NCIBI Biositemap APIs provide complimentary functionality and should be merged
 
−
** Csongor's RDF-to-XML webservice provides expected/needed functionality for iTools to consume current RDF biositemaps
 
−
** Action Items:
 
−
*** <strike>Csongor's software project (https://bmir-gforge.stanford.edu/gf/project/biositemaps/scmsvn/) is password protected</strike> (use 'anonymous' for username and an empty password)     
 
−
*** Beth & Csongor: work on merging apis (complimentary functionality) upon his return from Australia (week of Dec. 15)
 
−
 
 
−
* Document knowledge of Google access to Biositemaps corpus and other access issue (DONE)
 
−
** Biositemaps registry at http://www.ncbcs.org/biositemaps/biositemap.registry (with email to register new biositemaps url) is acceptable in the short-term; long-term we should find a more scalable solution (currently Google & Yahoo search engines do not provide reliable indexing of biositemaps rdf files)
 
−
 
 
−
* Agree on official location of BRO and IM and easily accessible functions to download them (DONE)
 
−
** bioportal is official location of BRO & biositemaps.org is official location of IM
 
−
** Action Items:
 
−
*** <strike>Natasha: provide a virtual url that will always point to the latest version of the BRO</strike> (done)
 
−
*** <strike>Beth: Update biositemaps web site with virtual url</strike> (done)
 
−
 
 
−
* Finalize process for backward compatibility of BRO and IM (deprecation etc...)
 
−
** 1. Software needs to be flexible (graceful handling of undefined classes)
 
−
** 2. New Policy: don't delete classes and move to deprecated sub-tree (annotate with a recommended valid class)
 
−
** Action Items:
 
−
*** <strike>Beth: Document policy on biositemaps webpage</strike> (done)
 
−
*** Csongor:  Update API & Biositemaps Editor to allow invalid classes
 
−
 
 
−
* Get back to NCBC liaisons and (i) generate full corpus of NCBC biositemaps and (ii) expose biositemaps consistently to the Internet according to practices that Beth will disseminate
 
−
** Action Items:
 
−
*** Beth & Peter:  follow up with NCBC centers to publish & update biositemaps (note I2B2 & CCB use deprecated classes that need to be updated)
 
−
 
 
−
* Get iTools to consume biositemaps corpus
 
−
** Csongor's XML-to-RDF web service provides Ivo needed functionality. Both Beth and Csongor's API use 13-14 MB in jars, so the only way to avoid this overhead is to parse the serialized XML version of the biositemaps from this service.
 
−
** Action Items:
 
−
*** <strike>Ivo: will provide email describing documentation needed for iTools to consume current biositemaps corpus</strike> (done)
 
−
*** <strike>Beth: Update biositemaps website with provided documentation</strike> (done)
 
−
*** Ivo: Update iTools application to consume new biositemaps RDF files via RDF-to-XML web service
 
−
 
 
−
* Get BioPortal to consume biositemaps corpus
 
−
** There are problems with the database or bioportal that need to be resolved in order to expose NCBC resources on bioportal
 
−
** Action Items:
 
−
*** Natasha: will email group when problems are resolved
 
−
 
 
−
* Modify the BioPortal to index biositemaps corpus over more than BRO
 
−
** Action Items:
 
−
*** Beth:  will clarify who will develop biositemaps search application following CTSA call regarding BRO/IM harmonizing
 
−
 
 
−
* Modify Biositemaps Editor to support multiple resource types

  • NCBC Team Action Items
    • codify API(s) (Csongr-Beth-Ivo)
