Tcon DRAFT Agenda
- Roll Call/Note-taker (Ivo) (5 min)
- Minutes from the last SDIWG tcon February 19, 2010 (5 min)
- Status check on working groups:
- Biositemaps is a technology to address (i) describing, (ii) locating, (ii) querying, (iii) composing or combining, and (iv) navigating/mining biomedical resources. The underlying technology for Biositemaps is the Biomedical Resource Ontology (BRO) V3 and Information Model (IM) which is encapsulated in the Biositemaps Editor. If you are interested, send Peter Lyster a request for a copy of a paper on Biositemaps and BRO that was recently submitted with lead author Jessie Tennenbaum. Also, please try out the new query tool: Resource Discovery System (RDS). You can find the NCBC resources by selecting the "Resource Program" tab and then selecting 'NCBC'.
- (Ivo Dinov) Biositemaps.RDF Extension facilitating resource execution, invocation, input/output and process control, and interoperability.
- Example: CCB Biositemap.RDF
- Original (Standard RDF)
- Extended Biositemap_NCBC_CCB_PL_update021610.rdf
- Extended Biositemap_NCBC_CCB_PL_update021610_ByRef.rdf (scalable by-reference version).
- Example Pipeline workflows (ND_WaveletTransform_WAIR.pipe, ShapeTransform.pipe, ShapeDistance.pipe).
- Pipeline XML Invocation Protocol.
- See also this page.
- iTools/Biositemaps XLS Support (pending validation).
- Example: CCB Biositemap.RDF
- Plans for adoption within and beyond NCBCs: CTSA, NIF, NITRC,IMAG,...
- (Ivo Dinov) Biositemaps.RDF Extension facilitating resource execution, invocation, input/output and process control, and interoperability.
- Scientific Ontologies
- NCBC Driving Biological Projects Interactions and Impact
- NCBC Dissemination and shared calendar: NCBC Dissemination page. The NCBC calendar with NCBC RSS feeds for all centers. Please check it out and provide feedback. (Joy)

- There are about 200 subscribers to this list (NCBC-Cal?)
- Peter: Merger/Symbiosis of DBP and Calendar efforts.

- CTSA/Biositemaps WG continues to make progress. Released RDS V.2?
- Trish: latest efforts on BRO 3.1. NCBC/CTSA collab - request from Pitt to include new regulatory branch - continually updated. Need to continue discussions on:
- Update existing Biositemaps.RDF files and account for deprecated RDF constructs. Auto updates?
- Extending the IM (Information model) to allow tool interoperability and comp-tool integration.
- (Trish) Added announcements to BRO?
- Send to Beth and Peter comments on RDS (2.0) functionality/operations/features.
- Karen S: Any stats on RDS usage yet? Peter: Dev team is NCBC/Pitt - none of them are on this call (Peter will check with them).

- Peter: RDF extension Pipelining: Ivo suggested drafting some details on hands-on utilization of the Biositemaps.RDF extension enabling the tool interoperability.
- Peter: Action Items as above.
