v31 v32 1 = Semantics and Ontology for OpenBio* and Web Services = 2 1 3 Back to [ListOfTopics Hackathon List of Topics] 2 4 3 = Overview=5 == Overview == 4 6 5 7 Most of the discussions at this hackathon deal with technology issues relating to interoperability. A few of the discussions are discuss [http://www.open-bio.org/wiki/Main_Page OpenBio*] "platform specific implementations" - language APIs (!BioRuby, !BioJava, !BioPerl, etc.), web service protocols (!BioMoby ''et. al.'') and database implementations (i.e. !BioSQL). A general issue relating to harmonization of community semantics or, at least, establishing a community process for semantics management, is recognized. This !OpenSpace discussion is targeting this issue for further progress. … … 20 22 * ''please add your name if you were there! I apologize if I missed recording you....'' 21 23 22 = Quick Links to Workshop Outputs=24 == Quick Links to Workshop Outputs == 23 25 24 == !OpenBio* Domain Models for Comparison==26 === !OpenBio* Domain Models for Comparison === 25 27 26 28 * [BioJavaDomainModel (Simplified) Model of BioJava semantics] (new: constructed at workshop) … … 28 30 * [http://code.open-bio.org/svnweb/index.cgi/biosql/checkout/biosql-schema/trunk/doc/biosql-ERD.pdf (Simplified) Model of BioSQL semantics] (not a new piece of work - just identified for inclusion in this page, from the BioSQL team) 29 31 30 == Other Ontology Work==32 === Other Ontology Work === 31 33 32 34 * [http://www.mygrid.org.uk/mygrid-moby-service/ joint myGrid-Moby service ontology] 33 35 34 = Proceedings=36 == Proceedings == 35 37 36 = Summary of Day 1 Discussions (11th Feb.

Efforts should and generally are, driven by a specific set of practical tasks in the community, on an "as needed" basis. The expectation to create a consensual "mother-of-all-biological-data-models" is most likely unrealistic, but can some agreement on the general principles, process and tools of semantic collaboration be achieved? 57 59 58 == Preliminary Questions==60 === Preliminary Questions === 59 61 60 62 1. Can a formal community strategy (akin to that in successful ontology consortia) for the specification and evolution of open bio semantics be specified and endorsed? … … 64 66 * Can the task be partitioned down to size to make it tractable, yet large enough to be useful (achieve "buy-in")? Can guidelines for modular (community specific) code/data type modules be stipulated? e.g. glycoinformatics 65 67 66 = Summary of Day 2 (12th Feb. AIST/CBRC)=68 == Summary of Day 2 (12th Feb. AIST/CBRC) == 67 69 68 70 * Group facilitator caught up with capturing day 1 proceedings (above) from poster notes. … … 70 72 * Moving forward this idea that a shared domain model might facilitate interoperability in !OpenBio* projects and web services, Richard Holland and Richard Bruskiewich spent part of the afternoon of day 2 drawing [BioJavaDomainModel UML diagrams reflecting the BioJava object data types], and started tracking down (over email) a !BioPerl UML model that is rumoured to be available. 71 73 72 = Summary of Day 3=74 == Summary of Day 3 == 73 75 74 76 * No specific ontology team discussions convened but theme specific discussions underway (e.g. with Glycoinformatics team). 75 77 76 = Summary of Day 4=78 == Summary of Day 4 == 77 79 78 80 * GCP domain model and !BioMoby data types: … … 82 84 * Harmonization of !BioMoby and myGrid service ontology underway by myGrid community (with the collusion of Mark W.).
