ICIC 2014 Finding Answers in the Data – The Future Role of Text and Data Mini...Dr. Haxel Consult
Vast amounts of new information and data are generated every day through scientific research. More and more of this data is stored in rapidly growing, but siloed databases, creating “Big Data” challenges. New technologies such as text and data mining make it possible to efficiently search and improve knowledge by applying analytics across these data sources. Research-intensive companies in the pharmaceutical and chemical industry are exploring the use of text and data mining (TDM) techniques to glean new insights from patents, clinical data, scientific literature, and other data sources. These insights are seen as critical to accelerating the process of drug and product discovery. As these researchers leverage TDM techniques, obtaining easy, centralized access to TDM-ready full-text content from multiple publishers becomes more and more important. What will be the future role of TDM in 2014 and beyond? What are the major TDM trends and what solutions are companies looking for to accelerate their R&D; efforts? Based on the experience gathered in a text and data mining pilot program successfully run by RightsDirect’s parent company Copyright Clearance Center (CCC) in 2013, RightsDirect’s General Manager Kim Zwollo will give an overview of current market needs, options and trends in Text and Data Mining. Using CCC’s TDM solution as an example, the presentation outlines critical success factors in technology and business models that need to be part of a comprehensive approach to text and data mining.

It describes several EU and US biomedical data infrastructure programs and projects since 2014 that have taken bottom-up approaches through multi-institutional collaborations. It also discusses the FAIRsharing registry, a top-down approach that has been recommending standards, databases, and policies since 2011 to help researchers and improve data sharing policies of journals and funders. Lessons learned include the need to work both with technical and social aspects to define and measure success.
Enriching Content with Semantic Tagging
K. Krishna (Molecular Connections (India))
Jignesh Bhate (Molecular Connections, India)
In spite of rapid transformation of publishing landscape brought about by digital technologies, content remains the focal point for publishers as well as consumers. Content deluge has increasingly made it challenging for consumers to discover and analyze relevant content. Approaches like semantic tagging provide an effective solution to this burgeoning problem.
Semantic tagging facilitates enhanced knowledge discovery and management, automated categorization of content, improved web navigation, easier integration of new knowledge in existing content and better exchange of information across diverse services.
In this talk, we will discuss about various content enrichment methodologies and share some insights from application of our in-house semantic tagging platform for enriching content of publishers.
Behind the FAIR Brand: Thinkers, Doers and Dreamers discusses the development of FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles for digital assets. It outlines how FAIR was developed in 2014-2016 with researcher endorsement and describes ongoing work to implement FAIR through infrastructure programs, standards, policies and cultural changes to realize the benefits of better organized and accessible data. The talk highlights the collaborative effort still needed across many stakeholders to make digital resources FAIR.

HCL Technologies moved their website from ASP to Drupal in order to improve their online presence, user experience, and search functionality while reducing maintenance costs. They selected Drupal due to its abilities for content management, search engine optimization, and security through frequent updates as an open source platform. The transition faced challenges with content migration and performance optimization but provided benefits like enhanced content discovery, social sharing, and SEO friendliness. The project was successful and won an award with a small dedicated team.
Front end optimization is important because 80% of end-user response time is spent on the front-end and front-end optimization can cut page load times by 25-50%. Page load times significantly impact user experience and business metrics. Tools like Yslow and Google PageSpeed can help identify optimization opportunities. Image optimization, minimizing HTTP requests by combining files, and reducing payload sizes are some techniques that should be applied from the start of a project. Progressive page loading, splitting components across domains, browser caching, and preloading components can further improve performance.

2011-10-11 Open PHACTS at BioIT World Europeopen_phacts
The document discusses the Innovative Medicines Initiative's Open PHACTS project, which aims to develop robust standards and apply them in a semantic integration platform ("Open Pharmacological Space") to integrate drug discovery data from various public and private sources. The project brings together partners from industry, academia, and non-profits to build an open infrastructure for linking drug discovery knowledge and supporting ongoing research. It outlines the technical approach, priorities, and initial progress on developing exemplar applications and a prototype "lash up" system.
Front-end performance optimizing involves optimizing a website's HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and image files to achieve the fastest possible loading speed. This includes minimizing HTTP requests by combining files, compressing files, optimizing code by removing unused code and errors, leveraging browser caching, and parallelizing downloads across domains. The document outlines nine techniques for front-end optimization, such as optimizing file sizes, reducing download size through compression and caching, and minimizing HTTP requests through file combining and CSS sprites.
Yahoo has developed the de facto standard for building fast front-ends for websites. The bad news: you have to follow 34 rules to get there. The good news: I'll take a subset of those rules, explain them, and show how you can implement those rules in an automated fashion to minimize impact on developers and designers for your high-traffic website.

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.
This document discusses precompetitive collaborations in the pharmaceutical industry. It defines precompetitive as referring to standards, data, or processes that are common across an industry and provide no competitive advantage. The document outlines a precompetitive mission statement to foster collaborations between organizations to develop standards, identify partnerships, and transfer technology. It also describes current working groups focused on areas like biomarkers, clinical trial design, and data standards.
Collaborative Drug Discovery provides three key services:
1. CDD Vault for securely storing private data.
2. CDD Collaborate for selectively sharing subsets of private data with collaborators.
3. CDD Public, containing over 3 million compounds for public searching and data analysis.
The document outlines four collaborations using CDD to facilitate data and model sharing between academic and industry partners to further tuberculosis drug discovery. It argues that greater adoption of open data sharing and collaborative platforms could help address inefficiencies in the drug discovery process.

Let's work towards a #SaferWorldbyDesign - Knowledge-integrated Toxicology and Safety Assessment, Barry Hardy, OpenTox Asia 2019, Hyderabad, India. To make a good decision we need to bring both expertise and relevant information together to form the basis for a structured well-informed discussion leading to best judgement based on available evidence and opinions formed on it. Such a knowledge integration is required in many areas of toxicology and safety assessment based on scientific knowledge generated by a growing number of alternative testing research methods and initiatives. Integration may include evidence from in vitro or in silico methods, biology or chemistry, science and engineering, human health or environment-oriented, and requires both effective organisation of knowledge and communications to reach common understandings.
The requirements, context and format for applications may vary e.g., asking and answering scientific questions, carrying out a risk assessment on products, or performing a regulatory decision or submission. All applications however require a sound reproducible scientific basis and the use of good practices in characterising experiments, organising data and describing concepts in our ontology and knowledge framework.
There is a growing opportunity to develop knowledge integration based on combining emerging concepts and frameworks e.g., OpenTox for data integration and resource interoperability, adverse outcome pathways for mapping data to events, evidence-based methods including systematic review applied to weight of evidence and read across methods for combining evidence from chemical or biological mechanistic categories.
We also need community frameworks to bring different disciplines together for fruitful interactions and discussions.
In this seminar we will review recent developments related to integrated testing and assessment including applications to chemicals, cosmetic ingredients and nanotechnology and including 3Rs goals of reducing and replacing animal testing.

Workshop Enterprise Architecture Management in Forschung und Praxis
The current paradigm in the pharmaceutical industry is that products can only be created and developed by massive collaborative teams. Each company has to build their own costly R&D platforms and IT infrastructure. Other research industries realized decades ago that they had to share data and methods because of cost. The pharmaceutical industry has been slow to realize this. Expanding beyond our recent book (Collaborative Computational Technologies for Biomedical Research) in which a growing number of technologies, consortia, precompetitive initiatives and complex collaboration networks are described, we suggest a more open drug discovery is being enabled by collaborative computational technologies. Academia however, is not training the next generation of scientists to practice open science or even collaborate, this represents challenges and opportunities. We will describe our observations and make recommendations that impact everyone from technology developers to granting agencies. This may enable future discoveries to be made outside traditional institutions.
Stratergies for the intergration of information (IPI_ConfEX)Ben Gardner
The document discusses approaches to integrating internal and external data across pharmaceutical research. It describes utilizing a data warehousing strategy through a Research Information Factory (RIF) to create a single global repository for research data. However, integrating external data from various sources poses additional challenges. Tools like PharmaMatrix provide a pre-indexed mine of scientific literature linking drug targets to indications, but result sets can be large. The document suggests that Web 2.0 technologies like wikis, blogs and tagging could help turn integrated information into knowledge by enabling collaboration and sharing. Industry-wide data standards and common ontologies would also help facilitate external data integration.
1. The document summarizes Kerstin Forsberg's presentation on semantics and linked data at AstraZeneca R&D.

2014-03-20 Open PHACTS - A Data Platform for Drug Discoveryopen_phacts
A data platform is proposed for drug discovery that would lower industry firewalls and enable pre-competitive data integration, analysis, and reuse across pharmaceutical companies. The platform would integrate external research data from literature, databases, and other sources on compounds, targets, pathways, and diseases. It would provide data integration and analysis tools through a firewalled database system and applications. The goal is to advance drug discovery by allowing multiple companies to access and build upon the same large foundation of pre-competitive research data.
The document discusses the Open PHACTS platform, which aims to reduce barriers to drug discovery by integrating pharmacological data from multiple sources into a single API. The platform uses semantic technologies to flexibly integrate datasets and allow adaptive querying. It provides tools and services to support pharmacological research for industry, academia, and small businesses.
2013 Open PHACTS Scientific Questions Posteropen_phacts
This document discusses scientific competency questions that were collected by the Open PHACTS consortium to guide the development of the Open PHACTS integrated pharmacological data platform. 83 questions were provided by consortium members and prioritized, with the top 20 questions clustered into two groups related to compound-target and compound-target-disease/pathway interactions. Analyzing the questions revealed that compound, target, pathway and disease data needs to be associated to answer them. This informed the selection of public databases and drove the requirements for linking data sources in Open PHACTS.
This document introduces several exemplar applications that were developed to showcase the capabilities of the Open PHACTS platform API. The exemplars include ChemBio Navigator, which allows browsing chemical and biological data for drug discovery applications; Polypharmacology Browser tools like GARField and PharmaTrek that enable exploration of compound-target interactions; and the Target Dossier, which compiles target-related information for decision support in target selection and validation. These exemplars demonstrate how diverse data integrated through the Open PHACTS platform can address relevant problems in drug development and biomedical research.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
