Pharmacoinformatics is an emerging field that draws from bioinformatics and cheminformatics. It deals with using technology in drug discovery and monitoring patients. The scope includes jobs with drug and clinical research companies. Training is currently limited to a few postgraduate programs in India. While the field is emerging, placements are unclear as most companies are still evaluating how to apply pharmacoinformatics.
Challenges and emerging practices for knowledge organization in the electron...Anil Mishra
This document discusses the challenges of organizing the large volume of information available on the internet. It outlines several approaches that information professionals and technologists are taking to organize hypermedia documents, including using classification schemes, controlled vocabularies, metadata standards, data mining, and collaborative tagging. The document argues that the most effective solutions will come from synergistic collaboration between information professionals and technologists, drawing on each field's unique expertise to develop user-friendly organization and search tools.
Ontology Tutorial: Semantic Technology for Intelligence, Defense and SecurityBarry Smith
Dr. Barry Smith is the director of the National Center for Ontological Research. He discussed how semantic technology can help solve the problem of data silos by enabling data from different sources to be integrated and analyzed together. Ontologies, or controlled vocabularies, can be used to semantically enhance data by tagging it in an interoperable way. This allows the data to be retrieved, understood, and used by others even if they were not involved in creating the data. The semantic enhancement approach aims to break down silos incrementally by coordinating the creation of ontologies and linking datasets through shared terms.
This document discusses how metadata can be used to protect and derive value from content stored in public and private clouds. It proposes the concept of "Guardian Angels" that collect individualized metadata about a user's interactions with content. An "Invisible College" would allow anonymous aggregation of metadata from Guardian Angels to determine emergent meanings while preserving privacy. Standards are needed to incorporate these concepts and allow organic growth of associative metadata to enhance cloud services and information assets.

Exploration of a Data Landscape using a Collaborative Linked Data Framework.Laurent Alquier
The document discusses using a collaborative linked data framework to explore a data landscape. It describes how the framework helps scientists access and integrate disparate data sources to answer translational research questions. Key components of the framework include a semantic wiki for cataloging data sources, linking data concepts, querying across sources, and visualizing relationships between sources. The goal is to provide scientists with flexible tools to discover and leverage relevant data without needing expertise in data management.
A discussion of the role of taxonomies in developing tools to organize and discover information about people. Presented by Bert Carelli as part of the Special Libraries Association’s “Leveraging Your Taxonomy” series.
This document provides an introduction to the Semantic Web and Linked Open Data. It discusses how standards like RDF, XML, and OWL allow machines to better understand the meaning of data on the web. It describes how ontologies provide a vocabulary to define relationships between resources. The document outlines the benefits of publishing data as Linked Open Data using these standards, including making data more interoperable and accessible to both humans and machines. Examples are given of biomedical research projects that use Semantic Web technologies to integrate and link different types of data.
An Improved Annotation Based Summary Generation For Unstructured DataMelinda Watson

Open Insights Harvard DBMI - Personal Health Train - Kees van Bochove - The HyveKees van Bochove
In this talk, the Personal Health Train concept will be introduced, which enables running personalized medicine workflows as trains visiting data stations (e.g. hospital records, primary care records, clinical studies and registries, patient-held data from e.g. wearable sensors etc.) The Personal Health Train is a very powerful concept, which is however dependent on source medical data to be coded with appropriate metadata on consent, license, scope etc. of the data, and the data itself to be encoded using biomedical data standards, which is an ever growing field in biomedical informatics. In order to realize the Personal Health Train biomedical data will need to be FAIR, i.e. adopt the FAIR Guiding Principles. This talk will cover the emerging GO-FAIR international movement, and provide examples of how several European health data networks currently are adopting open standards based stacks, to enable routine health care data to be come accessible for research.
Data mining involves discovering hidden patterns in data, while data warehousing involves integrating data from multiple sources and storing it in a centralized location to support analysis. Some key differences are:
- Data mining uses techniques like classification, clustering, and association to discover insights from data, while data warehousing focuses on data integration and OLAP tools.
- Data mining looks for unknown relationships and makes predictions, while data warehousing provides a way to extract and analyze historical data.
- Data warehousing involves extracting, cleaning, and transforming data during an ETL process before loading it into a separate database optimized for analysis. Data mining builds on the outputs of data warehousing.
This document provides an introduction and background on a research project related to knowledge management and content management. It begins by discussing the increasing amounts of information individuals and organizations face and how knowledge management aims to effectively share knowledge.

NIF - the Neuroscience Information Framework
Federating neuroscience-relevant databases
Structured information: data, databases
Information frameworks
Ontologies
Databases
Conclusions
Outline 2
4. The Neuroscience Information Framework is a dynamic repository of Web-based
neuroscience, global neuroscience web resources, including experimental,
clinical, and translational neuroscience databases, knowledge bases, atlases, and
genetic/genomic resources and provides many authoritative links throughout the
neuroscience portal of Wikipedia.
Data format: html, xml, json, csv
Established in 2004 by the National Institutes of Health.
Development of the NIF started in 2008, when the University of California, San
Diego School of Medicine obtained an NIH contract to create and maintain "a
dynamic inventory of web-based neurosciences data, resources, and tools that
scientists and students can access via any computer connected to the Internet.
NIF - Neuroscience Information Framework 4
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroscience_Information_Framework
5. NIF- SciCrunch 5
https://scicrunch.org/
The main goal of establishing NIF is to build a culture of data sharing.
This creates a strong community of researchers as “One mind for
research”.
SciCrunch- NIF has been adapted to create SciCrunch to create more
narrow community based portals based on common data platform.
Cost effective. Data portal can be
set up in a few hours.
Allows researchers organize and
store their data.
Connects communities through
data and tools.
Shared curation shared knowledge
6. Data Federation 6
https://www.tibco.com/reference-center/what-is-a-data-federation
Data Federation: is a software process that allows multiple
databases to appear and function as one. This creates virtual
database that takes data from a range of sources and converts them
all to a common model.
This provides a single source of data for front-end applications. A
data federation is part of the data virtualization framework.
Data virtualization grew with data federation but sprouted extra
features, applications, and functions
Examples: Teradata with Query Grid, IBM Pure Data Systems with
Fluid Query, and SAP HANA with Smart Data Services are some of
the products offering data federation.
8. Data federation eliminates the need to create yet another database or data
warehouse and save the cost of creating a permanent, physical relational
database.
It manages the integration of individual databases from different sources with a
central data store and makes it accessible under a uniform data model through
virtualization rather than by physical storage.
It enables querying data from different sources into a single virtual format. As
such, data federation has fewer points of potential failure and provides better
data integration.
A key advantage of the federation approach is that it allows for real-time
information access
Why data federation? 8
9. Federated Database: system is a type of meta-database management system,
which transparently maps multiple autonomous database systems into a single
federated database. The constituent databases are fully integrated and
interconnected via a computer network and can be geographically
decentralized.
Data sources could be both structured (relational databases, XML documents,
etc) and/or unstructured (Excel spread sheets, medical records, etc).
Because various database management systems employ different query
languages, federated database systems can apply ‘wrappers’ to the subqueries
to translate them into the appropriate query language.
Federated Database 9
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federated_database_system
10. Data Federation VS Data Warehouse 10
Data Federation VS Data Warehouse:
Data federation software creates a single repository that
doesn’t contain the data itself, rather its metadata
(information about the actual data/its location). It
involves transformation, cleansing, and possibly even
enrichment of data in a decentralized manner while
data warehouse or enterprise data warehouse (EDW) is
a major alternative to a data federation. It creates a
centralized repository that pulls data from multiple
sources for analysis and integrates data physically.
DF does not need to move or copy data and it prevents
data from being changed. While an EDW moves data
into a single repository and updates data.
11. Structured vs Unstructured Data 11
Two main categories of data is: structured and unstructured data type.
Structured data is highly specific and is stored in a predefined format, where
unstructured data is a compilation of many varied types of data that are stored in their
native formats. This means that structured data takes advantage of schema-on-write and
unstructured data employs schema-on-read.
Structured data consists of clearly defined standardized data types with patterns that
make them easily searchable while Unstructured data is more difficult to collect, process,
and analyze.
Common examples of structured data include customer relationship management
(CRM), invoicing systems, product databases, and contact lists. Unstructured data
includes various content such as documents, videos, audio files, posts on social media,
and emails.
12. Requirements for Effective Data Sharing 12
Discoverability
Data can be found
Accessibility
Data can be accessed
Assessability
The reliability of the data can be
determined
Understandability
Data can be understood
Usability
Data are in a usable form
Population
Comprehensive coverage of
domain
Up to date information
Trusted source
Provenance of data
Quality of curation
13. Introduction to Ontologies 13
https://www.bioontology.org/
Ontology comes from two Greek words: on, which means "being," and logia, which means "study." So ontology
is the study of being alive and existing. The term is generally credited to the great Ionian mathematician,
scientist, and religious mystic Pythagoras
14. Ontology 14
Ontology: An ontology is a formal representation of knowledge that consists of
a set of classes that represent concepts defining a field and the relationships
among these classes.
In simple terms, ontology is a data structure that specifies, for a given
application area,
Entities
Properties of entities
Relationships among the entities
15. NIF Semantic Frame Work - NIFSTD 15
NIF Standard Ontology (NIFSTD): is a core
component of Neuroscience Information
Framework (NIF) project
(http://neuinfo.org), a semantically
enhanced portal for accessing and
integrating neuroscience data, tools and
information.
NIFSTD includes a set of modular
ontologies that provide a comprehensive
collection of terminologies to describe
neuroscience data and resources. Fig: Ontology of diseases:
16. Ontology (Cont.) 16
Typically ontology can be seen as a 5-tuple where its components are: Concepts, relationships,
functions, instances and axioms.
17. Why develop an ontology? 18
It shares a common understanding of information under a particular
domain that allows:
organizations to make better sense of their data.
Provide explicit meaning of the entities among peoples and software.
It defines and arranges the classes in the ontology in a taxonomic
(subclass–superclass) hierarchy, then define the roles and values for these
classes.
Increased quality of entity analysis. Increased use, reuse, and
maintainability of the information systems.
Explains the properties of each classes describing features and attributes
of the class.
Facilitation of domain knowledge sharing, with common vocabulary
across independent software applications.
18. How to develop an ontology? 19
https://protege.stanford.edu/publications/ontology_development/ontology101.pdf
Step 1: Determine the domain and scope of the ontology. The
ontology have to contain enough information to answer the
following list of questions:
What is the domain that the ontology will cover?
For what we are going to use the ontology?
For what types of questions the information in the ontology should provide
answers?
Who will use and maintain the ontology?

Step 2: Consider reusing existing ontologies.
Refine and extend existing sources for the particular domain and task.
May be a requirement if our system needs to interact with other applications
that have already committed to particular ontologies or controlled
vocabularies.
Step 3: Enumerate important terms in the ontology.
List all terms needed to make statements to explain to a user.
List all the properties belongs to that terms have.
Example:
– Important wine-related terms will include wine, grape, winery, location, a
wine’s color, body, flavor and sugar content;
– Subtypes of wine such as white wine, and so on.

Step 4: Define the classes and the class hierarchy.
Start by defining classes from the list created in Step 3.
Classes in the ontology: – The terms that describe objects having independent
existence rather than terms that describe these objects.
Organize the classes into a hierarchical taxonomy by asking if by being an instance of
one class.
If a class A is a superclass of class B, then every instance of B is also an instance of A
Possible approaches of creating class hierarchy :
A top-down development process starts with the definition of the most general
concepts in the domain.
A bottom-up development process starts with the definition of the most specific
classes.
A combination development process is a combination of the top-down and bottom-
up approaches

Step 5: Define the properties of classes (slots).
Remaining terms created in step 3 are properties of these classes.
From the wine example, the remaining terms are: wine’s color, body, flavor,
sugar content and location of a winery.
For each property in the list, determine which class it describes.
In the example: the Wine class will have the following slots:
―color, body, flavor, and sugar.
All subclasses of a class inherit the slot of that class.

Step 6: Define the facets of the slots.
Slot can have different facets describing the value type, allowed values,
the number of the values (cardinality), and other features of the values
the slot can take.
―E.g. The value of a name is a string.
Slot cardinality – defines how many values a slot can have. Some
systems distinguish only between single cardinality and multiple
cardinality.
Slot-value type – A value-type facet describes what types of values can
fill in the slot.

Step 7: Instances of classes in the hierarchy.
Defining an individual instance of a class requires
choosing a class
creating an individual instance of that class
filling in the slot values.
24. Applications of Ontologies 25
Machine Learning & Deep Learning: Supervised and unsupervised machine
learning algorithms applied to well known, and understood data can rapidly detect
failures and put corrective actions into motion before severe damage occurs.
Business Intelligence (BI): Any enterprise
information architecture intended to enable
horizontal communication between disparate
data sources, with related and/or potentially
different domains (e.g., banking and
insurance), must identify an ontology for
rapidly merging, and extracting Key Data
Elements (KDE) necessary for answering
essential competency questions.
25. Applications of Ontologies 26
Ontology in AI: The ontology sets the scene for the knowledge graph to
capture the data in a domain by specifying the structure of the knowledge in
that domain including taxonomies, topic maps, logical models, and vocabularies.

Ontology in research: Ontology helps researchers recognize how certain they
can be about the nature and existence of objects they are researching.
26. Applications of Ontologies 27
Ontology in Biomedicine: Ontologies are used in the biomedical and health
sciences in areas ranging from gene function, as seen in the gene ontology GO, to
those used in healthcare informatics such as the International Classification of
Diseases, ICD.
27. Ontology in education: The ontology can be used to guide students
to understand the organization of their own learning and to self-
assess their own progress.
Ontology in neuroscience: Ontology is broadly used in Neuroscience
Information Framework (NIF) project. NIFSTD and Web Ontology
Language (OWL) are two important tools to analyze neuroscience
data.
Applications of Ontologies 30
28. Databases vs Ontologies 28
1. The fundamental focus of an ontology is to specify and share meaning. The
fundamental focus for a database schema is to describe data and storage.
2. A relational database schema has a single purpose: to structure a set of
instances for efficient storage and querying. An ontology can also be used to
structure a set of instances in a database but it has a broader range of
purposes including better communication, interoperability, search, and
software engineering, a communication bridge between a human and a
machine.
3. When an instance is created in an ontology, the respective mappings must
also be created based on rules, which is not necessarily the case for
databases. That’s why ontology perform better than databases.
4. Ontologies utilize the OWA system of knowledge representation, while the
CWA is used by databases.
29. Databases vs Ontologies 29
5. Database system apply the normalization of tables to delete redundant
data from the tables, to reduce the complexity. Normal forms are a set of
rules that help to correct the transformation of entities and relationships to
the structure of the physical layout of the tables that is not used in
ontologies.
6. A database uses an ER diagram to describe the syntax; this technique is
used for abstract and conceptual data representation. In ontology, however,
the syntax is written by logic; the most common is the description logic that
corresponds to the OWL DL, a language for creating ontologies.
7. Ontologies can be created using existing ontologies while databases are
created from scratch like all tables and their content have to design new.
8. But there are certain similarities between ontologies and databases. we can
convert a database to an ontology and vice versa using the approach
Ontology Inverse Engineering.
