Researchers at EPA’s National Center for Computational Toxicology integrate advances in biology, chemistry, and computer science to examine the toxicity of chemicals and help prioritize chemicals for further research based on potential human health risks. The goal of this research program is to quickly evaluate thousands of chemicals, but at a much reduced cost and shorter time frame relative to traditional approaches. The data generated by the Center includes characterization of thousands of chemicals across hundreds of high-throughput screening assays, consumer use and production information, pharmacokinetic properties, literature data, physical-chemical properties as well as the predictive computational modeling of toxicity and exposure. We have developed a number of databases and applications to deliver the data to the public, academic community, industry stakeholders, and regulators. This presentation will provide an overview of our work to develop an architecture that integrates diverse large-scale data from the chemical and biological domains, our approaches to disseminate these data, and the delivery of models supporting predictive computational toxicology. In particular, this presentation will review our new publicly-accessible CompTox Dashboard as the first application built on our newly developed architecture. This abstract does not reflect U.S. EPA policy.
Ontologies and Semantic Web technologies play an important role in the life sciences to help make data more interoperable and reusable. There are now many publicly available ontologies that enable biologists to describe everything from gene function through to animal physiology and disease.
Various efforts such as the Open Biomedical Ontologies (OBO) foundry provide central registries for biomedical ontologies and ensure they remain interoperable through a set of common shared development principles.
At EMBL-EBI we contribute to the development of biomedical ontologies and make extensive use of them in the annotation of public datasets. Biological data typically comes with rich and often complex metadata, so the ontologies provide a standard way to capture “what the data is about” and gives us hooks to connect to more data about similar things.
These ontology annotations have been put to good use in a number of large-scale data integration efforts and there’s an increasing recognition of the need for ontologies in making data FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable).
EMBL-EBI build a number of integrative data platforms where ontologies are at the core of our domain models. One example is the Open Targets platform, where data about disease from 18 different databases can be aggregated and grouped based on therapeutic areas in the ontology and used to identify potential drug targets.
The ontologies team at EMBL-EBI provide a suite of services that are aimed at making ontologies more accessible for both humans and machines. We work with scientific data curators and software developers to integrate ontologies and semantics into both the data generation and data presentation workflows. We provide:
– An ontology lookup service (OLS) that provides search and visualisation services to over 200+ ontologies
– Services for automating the annotation of metadata and learning from previous annotations (Zooma)
– An ontology mapping and alignment service (OXO)
– Tools for working with metadata and ontologies in spreadsheets (Webulous)
– Software for enriching documents in search engines to support “semantic” query expansion
I’ll present how we are using these services at EMBL-EBI to scale up the semantic annotation of metadata. I’ll talk about our open source technology stack and describe how we utilise a polyglot persistence approach (graph databases, triples stores, document stores etc) to optimize how we deliver ontologies and semantics to our users.

Registry Participation 101: A Step-by-Step Guide to What You Really Need to K...Wellbe
– Is your hospital contemplating joining a registry but you don’t know where to begin?
– Do the acronyms CJR, QCDR, and PROMs cause you angst?
– Have you heard that registry participation can count towards quality programs but you don’t understand the connection?
– Are you a surgeon needing a registry to meet Meaningful Use requirements?
– Are you in one of the 67 geographical areas mandated by the CMS’s Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement (CJR) program?
– Is your hospital considering a patient-reported outcome measure (PROMs) program and you want to know more about what that entails?
If so, the American Joint Replacement Registry (AJRR) will walk you through everything you need to know about participating in a registry. This session will focus on best practices from over 4,500 surgeons and 675+ hospitals who have successfully implemented and engaged with the data from over 400,000 hip and knee replacement procedures. AJRR will help you to debunk the myth that submitting private health information is complicated, time consuming, and that it takes hundreds of man-hours to participate in a registry.
You’ll also learn how:
• Registry participation can support mandated quality programs – including Meaningful Use, CJR, and PQRS
• To implementing a PROM system in your hospital – what to look out for when starting and helpful tips from current users on what they have learned
• Not all data elements are mandatory – what are the different levels, what does the national registry require, and what is optional

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message

localization of cortical dysfunction
Neurotrax Corp. is a computerized cognitive
testing where patient is compared to aged and
education matched healthy controls where
mean=100 with 1 standard deviation=15.
This testing has been previously extensively tested
for reliability. To minimize learning across sessions,
3 alternate forms of cognitive tests were developed
with identical psychometric properties but different
items. Equivalence for all three alternate forms
was demonstrated to have an acceptable test-retest
reliability
