Using the Semantic Web to Support Ecoinformatics
•
2 likes•566 views
We describe our on-going work in using the semantic web in support of ecological informatics, and demonstrate a distributed platform for constructing end-to-end use cases. Specifically, we describe ELVIS (the Ecosystem Location Visualization and Information System), a suite of tools for constructing food webs for a given location, and Triple Shop, a SPARQL query interface which allows scientists to semi-automatically construct distributed datasets relevant to the queries they want to ask. ELVIS functionality is exposed as a collection of web services, and all input and output data is expressed in OWL, thereby enabling its integration with Triple Shop and other semantic web resources.

This document discusses making highly dimensional biological data easily accessible. It describes sequencing DNA samples from mice, humans, and bacteria in space and on Earth to study environmental effects. It also discusses the ENCODE project, how biological data has become very large, and the EMBL-EBI's mission to provide freely available data and services. Key resources mentioned include the Ontology Lookup Service, BioSamples database, BioStudies database, and TrackHub Registry for integrating and archiving multi-omics data across different databases.
WikiGenomes Poster (ISMB)
WikiGenomes and Chlambase provide a semantic data model in Wikidata for integrating microbial genomics data. They model taxonomic and gene/protein relationships as Wikidata items and properties. A Python bot gathers data from sources and writes it to Wikidata. WikiGenomes serves as a centralized database for sequenced microbial genomes. It provides gene reports and supports community annotation directly in Wikidata. This engages domain experts and facilitates data access.

Metadata in the BioSample Online Repository are Impaired by Numerous Anomalie...CEDAR: Center for Expanded Data Annotation and Retrieval
The metadata about scientific experiments are crucial for finding, reproducing, and reusing the data that the metadata describe. We present a study of the quality of the metadata stored in BioSample—a repository of metadata about samples used in biomedical experiments managed by the U.S. National Center for Biomedical Technology Information (NCBI). We tested whether 6.6 million BioSample metadata records are populated with values that fulfill the stated requirements for such values. Our study revealed multiple anomalies in the analyzed metadata. The BioSample metadata field names and their values are not standardized or controlled—15% of the metadata fields use field names not specified in the BioSample data dictionary. Only 9 out of 452 BioSample-specified fields ordinarily require ontology terms as values, and the quality of these controlled fields is better than that of uncontrolled ones, as even simple binary or numeric fields are often populated with inadequate values of different data types (e.g., only 27% of Boolean values are valid). Overall, the metadata in BioSample reveal that there is a lack of principled mechanisms to enforce and validate metadata requirements. The aberrancies in the metadata are likely to impede search and secondary use of the associated datasets.Model Organism Linked Data
Model organisms such as budding yeast provide a common platform to interrogate and understand cellular and physiological processes. Knowledge about model organisms, whether generated during the course of scientific investigation, or extracted from published articles, are made available by model organism databases (MODs) such as the Saccharomyces Genome Database (SGD) for powerful, data-driven bioinformatic analyses. Integrative platforms such as InterMine offer a standard platform for MOD data exploration and data mining. Yet, today’s bioinformatic analyses also requires access to a significantly broader set of structured biomedical data, such as what can be found in the emerging network of Linked Open Data (LOD). If MOD data could be provisioned as FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable), then scientists could leverage a greater amount of interoperable data in knowledge discovery.
The goal of this proposal is to increase the utility of MOD data by implementing standards-compliant data access interfaces that interoperate with Linked Data. We will focus our efforts on developing interfaces for data access, data retrieval, and query answering for SGD. Our software will publish InterMine data as LOD that are semantically annotated with ontologies and be retrieved using standardized formats (e.g. JSON-LD, Turtle). We will facilitate the exploration of MOD data for hypothesis testing, by implementing efficient query answering using Linked Data Fragments, and by developing a set of graphical user interfaces to search for data of interest, explore connections, and answer questions that leverage the wider LOD network. Finally, we will develop a locally and cloud-deployable image to enable the rapid deployment of the proposed infrastructure. Our efforts to increase interoperability and ease of deployment for biomedical data repositories will increase research productivity and reduce costs associated with data integration and warehouse maintenance.

The Center for Expanded Data Annotation and Retrieval (CEDAR) has developed a suite of tools and services that allow scientists to create and publish metadata describing scientific experiments. Using these tools and services—referred to collectively as the CEDAR Workbench—scientists can collaboratively author metadata and submit them to public repositories. A key focus of our software is semantically enriching metadata with ontology terms. The system combines emerging technologies, such as JSON-LD and graph databases, with modern software development technologies, such as microservices and container platforms. The result is a suite of user-friendly, Web-based tools and REST APIs that provide a versatile end-to-end solution to the problems of metadata authoring and management. This talk presents the architecture of the CEDAR Workbench and focuses on the technology choices made to construct an easily usable, open system that allows users to create and publish semantically enriched metadata in standard Web formats.Presentation from Code Camp 2017

An Open Repository Model for Acquiring Knowledge About Scientific Experiments
An Open Repository Model for Acquiring Knowledge About Scientific ExperimentsCEDAR: Center for Expanded Data Annotation and Retrieval
The availability of high-quality metadata is key to facilitating discovery in the large variety of scientific datasets that are increasingly becoming publicly available. However, despite the recent focus on metadata, the diversity of metadata representation formats and the poor support for semantic markup typically result in metadata that are of poor quality. There is a pressing need for a metadata representation format that provides strong interoperation capabilities together with robust semantic underpinnings. In this talk, we describe such a format, together with open-source Web-based tools that support the acquisition, search, and management of metadata. We outline an initial evaluation using metadata from a variety of biomedical repositories.FISHLink Presentation at JISC MRD Workshop
The document summarizes work investigating linked data approaches to support data sharing in the freshwater biology community. It describes initial experiments mapping existing datasets to support research questions on aquatic plant diversity. This included extracting queries and generating tables of correlated data for analysis. Challenges included inconsistent data formats and naming. The document questions the additional value of publishing linked data over simply providing open data and triplified data, and how to support small providers in annotating datasets and non-experts in writing SPARQL queries.

FAIR Agronomy, where are we? The KnetMiner Use Case
Marco Brandizi and Keywan Hassani-Pak, Rothamsted Research, Invited Presentation at SWAT4HCLS 2022.
FAIR data principles are being a driving force in life sciences and other scientific domains, helping researchers to share their data and free all of their potential to integrate information and do novel discoveries. Knowledge graphs are an ever more popular paradigm to model data according to such principles, and technologies such as graph databases are emerging as complementary to approaches like linked data. All of this includes the agronomy, farming and food domains. How advanced the adoption of sound data management policies is in these life domains? How does that compare to other life sciences? In this presentation, we will talk about our practical experience, focusing on KnetMiner, a gene and molecular biology discovering platform, which is based on building and publishing knowledge graphs according to the FAIR principles, as well as using a mix of linked data standards for life sciences and recent graph database and API technologies. We will welcome questions and discussions from the audience about similar experience.

Phoenix for Rubyists - Rubyconf Brazil 2016
Phoenix, an opinionated web framework built with Elixir, is taking the web dev world by storm. Like Rails, it's focused on productivity, but because it is built on the foundation of Erlang and the BEAM (Erlang Virtual Machine), it can be strong in the areas where Rails tends to struggle a bit.
First, I'll provide a quick intro to Elixir & Phoenix, oriented toward developers who are used to Ruby & Rails conventions. We'll cover routing, the handling of incoming requests (this is done quite differently in Phoenix compared to Rails) and the model layer -- comparing ActiveRecord to Ecto.
Next, we’ll set up a couple of simple CRUD resources in Phoenix, and try two approaches of running it side-by-side with Rails. Knowing how to do this is important if you aim to incrementally migrate from one framework to the other, over some period of time.
Finally, I'll provide a few patterns as to how you could start migrating key pieces of your app over to elixir gradually, using Rails as thin REST API layer, and relying on Elixir & Phoenix as a powerful background job processor. Attendees will be left with a general understanding of how Elixir & Phoenix work, and how to leverage the awesome concurrency, without rewriting their whole Rails app.

On Physical Web models
The Physical Web is a generic term describes interconnection of physical objects and web. The Physical Web lets present physical objects in a web. There are different ways to do that and we will discuss them in our paper. Usually, the web presentation for a physical object could be implemented with the help of mobile devices. The basic idea behind the Physical Web is to navigate and control physical objects in the world surrounding mobile devices with the help of web technologies. Of course, there are different ways to identify and enumerate physical objects. In this paper, we describe the existing models as well as related challenges. In our analysis, we will target objects enumeration and navigation as well as data retrieving and programming for the Physical Web
Model-based Testing Principles
The document discusses model-based testing principles. It defines what a model is and why modeling is important. It explains that model-based testing extracts test cases from models of a system to validate conformance to specifications. The document outlines different types of models that can be used for model-based testing, including UML diagrams. It also describes key activities in model-based testing like test selection, execution, and evaluation.
BPMN and Design Patterns for Engineering Social BPM Solutions
The integration of social software and BPM can help organizations harness the value of informal relationships and weak ties, without compromising the consolidated business practices embedded in conventional BPM solutions. This paper presents a process design methodology, supported by a tool suite, for addressing the extension of business processes with social features. The social process design exploits an extension of BPMN for capturing social requirements, a gallery of social BPM design patterns that represent reusable solutions to recurrent process socialization requirements, and a model-to-model and mode-to-code transformation technology that automatically produces a process enactment Web application connected with mainstream social platforms.
Semantic Faceted Search with SemFacet presentation
Abstract
An increasing number of applications rely on RDF, OWL 2, and SPARQL for storing and querying data. SPARQL, however, is not targeted towards end-users, and suitable query interfaces are needed. Faceted search is a prominent approach for end-user data access, and several RDF-based faceted search systems have been developed. There is, however, a lack of rigorous theoretical underpinning for faceted search in the context of RDF and OWL 2. In this paper, we provide such solid foundations. We formalise faceted interfaces for this context, identify a fragment of first-order logic capturing the underlying queries, and study the complexity of answering such queries for RDF and OWL 2 profiles. We then study interface generation and update, and devise efficiently implementable algorithms. Finally, we have implemented and tested our faceted search algorithms for scalability, with encouraging results.
Mass Customisation In Scm
The document discusses key concepts related to mass customization and its implications for supply chain management. It summarizes challenges like increased complexity, the bullwhip effect, and difficulties meeting demand variability. It also outlines opportunities like modular product design, delayed differentiation, and information systems that improve coordination across the supply chain. Mass customization approaches aim to provide customized products and services at low costs by standardizing components and postponing final assembly or configuration until customer orders are received.
The Challenger Customer
Four years ago, The Challenger Sale overturned decades of conventional wisdom with a bold new approach to sales. Now our latest research reveals something even more surprising: Being a Challenger seller is not enough. Your success or failure also depends on who you challenge. To win today, you need a Challenger inside the customer organization, a Mobilizer. CEB will reveal what high-performing B2B teams grasp that their average-performing peers don't. Now that big, complex deals increasingly require consensus among a wide range of players across the organization, the limiting factor is rarely the salesperson's inability to connect to any one individual stakeholder. It's far more often their inability to connect them to each other. Join Brent Adamson, Principal Advisor for CEB and co-author of The Challenger Sale. Brent facilitates a wide range of executive-level discussions around the world for Fortune 500/Global 1000 executives in sales, marketing, and customer service.

iEvoBio Keynote: Frontiers of discovery with Encyclopedia of Life -- TRAITBANK
Talk presented at iEvoBio 2014 conference in Raleigh, North Carolina. Though there's a similar title and overlap with the talk I posted last week, there is new material here especially geared towards an informatics crowd savvy in the tools and technology.
iEvoBio Keynote Talk 2010
This document discusses challenges and opportunities for discovering and documenting biodiversity in the current information age. It argues that current taxonomic processes are too slow and that new approaches are needed to integrate distributed data sources and leverage community contributions. Specifically, it proposes:
1) Publishing new biodiversity data prior to formal documentation to accelerate discovery.
2) Developing automated workflows and online workspaces to integrate phylogenetic, distribution, and trait data.
3) Enabling community participation through open data sharing and collaborative annotation platforms.

Big data nebraska
The document discusses the rise of big data in microbiology due to decreasing costs of DNA sequencing and computational resources. It describes how high-throughput sequencing is generating vast amounts of microbial genomic and metagenomic data. However, analyzing these large, complex datasets presents numerous technical and social challenges for microbiologists, including handling data volume, integrating diverse data types, accessing resources, and incentivizing data sharing. Overcoming these bottlenecks will be key to unlocking the scientific insights contained within the microbial "big data" tidal wave.
ABIcurator.doc
This proposal requests $1.45 million from the NSF to develop a Curator Assistant to help communities annotate the rapidly increasing number of sequenced genomes. As sequencing costs decrease from $1 million to $10,000 per genome, the bottleneck has shifted to functional annotation, which currently relies on human curators. The proposed software will use natural language processing to extract gene functions from literature and suggest annotations to assist community curators with databases for non-model organisms lacking professional curation resources. It will initially focus on arthropod genomes through collaboration with the Arthropod Base Consortium.

Bioinformatics databases: Current Trends and Future Perspectives
Data is the most powerful resource in any field or subject of study. In Biology, data comes from scientists and their actions, while any institution that makes sense of the data collected, will be in the forefront in their respective research field. In the beginning of any data collection endeavour, it is critical to find proper management techniques to store data and to maximise its utilisation. This presentation reflects upon the current trends and techniques of data modeling, architecture with a highlight on the uses of database, focusing on Bioinformatics examples and case studies. Finally, the future of bioinformatics databases is highlighted to give an overview of the modeling techniques to accommodate the biological data escalation in coming years.
Finding knowledge, data and answers on the Semantic Web
Web search engines like Google have made us all smarter by providing ready access to the world's knowledge whenever we need to look up a fact, learn about a topic or evaluate opinions. The W3C's Semantic Web effort aims to make such knowledge more accessible to computer programs by publishing it in machine understandable form.
<p>
As the volume of Semantic Web data grows software agents will need their own search engines to help them find the relevant and trustworthy knowledge they need to perform their tasks. We will discuss the general issues underlying the indexing and retrieval of RDF based information and describe Swoogle, a crawler based search engine whose index contains information on over a million RDF documents.
<p>
We will illustrate its use in several Semantic Web related research projects at UMBC including a distributed platform for constructing end-to-end use cases that demonstrate the semantic web’s utility for integrating scientific data. We describe ELVIS (the Ecosystem Location Visualization and Information System), a suite of tools for constructing food webs for a given location, and Triple Shop, a SPARQL query interface which searches the Semantic Web for data relevant to a given query ELVIS functionality is exposed as a collection of web services, and all input and output data is expressed in OWL, thereby enabling its integration with Triple Shop and other semantic web resources.
Zfin
The document summarizes the Zebrafish Information Network (ZFIN), a database that integrates genetic, genomic, and developmental data about zebrafish. ZFIN aims to (1) establish a database for zebrafish data, (2) relate genes to mutations to understand gene function, (3) integrate with other species databases, and (4) make information accessible. ZFIN curates data from literature and collaborates with other databases to ensure standardized nomenclature and annotations. It provides resources like gene expression patterns, sequences, and contact information for researchers.
Big Data Field Museum
This document discusses the rise of big data in modern microbiology due to advances in DNA sequencing technologies. It notes that while sequencing is now much cheaper and faster, analyzing the large volumes of sequencing data presents new computational challenges. Methods like digital normalization are helping to scale down datasets for assembly. While sequencing is revealing vast unknown diversity in communities like soil, connecting patterns in the data to biological functions and mechanisms remains difficult. Collaboration and data sharing will be important to advance the field.

Rapidly decreasing costs of DNA sequencing and increases in computational power have led to an era of "big data" in microbiology. The collection and analysis of massive datasets from metagenomic studies presents both opportunities and challenges. Key opportunities include understanding microbial community dynamics and interactions at an unprecedented scale. However, challenges include developing computational methods to efficiently analyze large, diverse datasets and training the next generation of microbiologists to work in this new "big data" environment. Overcoming these challenges will require collaborative efforts across disciplines as well as a culture change toward open data sharing and reproducible research.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data Warehouse
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

- 8. East River Valley Trophic Web http://www.foodwebs.org/
- 19. Search for ontologies which contain this terms 1
- 20. 746 ontologies were found that had these two terms By default, ontologies are ordered by their ‘popularity’, but they can also be ordered by date or size.
- 21. We can also search for any RDF documents containing these terms
- 22. 5,378 documents were found that had these two terms
- 24. What are body masses of fishes that eat fishes? . . . leaving out the FROM clause Swoogle Triple Shop
- 25. specify dataset
- 26. RDF documents were found that might have useful data
- 27. We’ll select them all and add them to the current dataset.
- 28. We’ll run the query against this dataset to see if the results are as expected.
- 29. The results can be produced in any of several formats
- 31. Looks like a useful dataset. Let’s save it and also materialize it the TS triple store.
