  2. Background to WP4 Overarching objectives & vision Facilitate integration and harmonisation of distributed data-sets Provide management and dissemination facilities for the necessary ontologies Provide biologists with the necessary flexibility to express their knowledge regardless of whether the terminology has been standardized yet or not.

  4. 1. Untangling WP4 objectives Facilitate integration and harmonisation of distributed data-sets i.e. linking up the Scratchpad archipelago Sites: 200+ 40% accessed per mnth Users: 2340+ 10% access per mnth Pages: 205k Since Mar. ‘07 How do we do this? Circa 2 new sites/wk. 15 4 of

  5. 1. Untangling WP4 objectives Facilitate integration and harmonisation of distributed data-sets Options for linking up the Scratchpads • Search • Planned via Apache Lucene in WP2 (issues for distributed servers) • A registry listing all the Scratchpads • Planned in WP2 (several options for doing this) • Integrating data • Planned in WP4 via the CDM A key objective of this meeting is to detail options for the registry & the CDM 15 5 of

  6. 1. Untangling WP4 objectives Facilitate integration and harmonisation of distributed data-sets Associated deliverables: D4.1) Scratchpad common access point: Develop an initial set of API services to link the Scratchpad communities to the resources of the CDM, to facilitate data exchange. [month 12] - NB Too early D4.3) Ongoing services enhancements: Develop robust services, based on usage statistics and user feedback, that enhance the prototype tools delivered under D4.1 & D4.2 [month 36] 15 6 of

  7. Background to WP4 Overarching objectives & vision Facilitate integration and harmonisation of distributed data-sets Provide management and dissemination facilities for the necessary ontologies Provide biologists with the necessary flexibility to express their knowledge regardless of whether the terminology has been standardized yet or not. API service Our job is to clarify what this means… 15 7 of

  8. 2. Untangling WP4 objectives Provide mang. & dissemination facilities for the necessary ontologies i.e. providing a more standardised approach to vocabularies Controlled vocabularies in a Scratchpad How do we get people to share these lists? 15 8 of

  9. 2. Untangling WP4 objectives Provide mang. & dissemination facilities for the necessary ontologies Initial approach to sharing vocabularies in WP4 • Explore needs • Ongoing via GBIF • Develop prototypes • Being planned by GBIF (DR) now • Embed vocabularies into Scratchpads • Need to work out the details 15 9 of

  10. 2. Untangling WP4 objectives Provide mang. & dissemination facilities for the necessary ontologies Associated deliverables: D4.2) Ontology tools: Develop the GBIF ontology tool and produce an equivalent tool based on a semantic wiki. Deliver a single user interface for ontology creation and editing based on user-acceptance of the alternative technologies. [month 24] D4.3) Ongoing services enhancements: Develop robust services, based on usage statistics and user feedback, that enhance the prototype tools delivered under D4.1 & D4.2 [month 36] 15 10 of

  11. Background to WP4 Overarching objectives & vision Facilitate integration and harmonisation of distributed data-sets Provide management and dissemination facilities for the necessary ontologies Provide biologists with the necessary flexibility to express their knowledge regardless of whether the terminology has been standardized yet or not. API service Our job is to clarify what this means… 15 11 of

  12. 3. Untangling WP4 objectives Controlled anatomical vocabularies Flexible service to express knowledge regardless of whether terminology has been standardized i.e. wiki-based system for managing ontologies Need to clarify? 15 12 of

  13. 3. Untangling WP4 objectives Flexible service to express knowledge regardless of whether terminology has been standardized Demonstrate and deploy the advantages of Semantic Mediawiki as a base layer for vocabulary management Now ViBRANT Post ViBRANT Demonstrators via 1. Wiki, 2. Semantic wikii Controlled per site Controlled across sites 15 13 of
