Accelerating Semantic Web Adoption in Life Sciences

Join the BioRDF Task Force in exploring and documenting the effectiveness of current RDF/OWL tools, building a life sciences demo, and creating a knowledge base for Alzheimer's Disease. Our diverse team is bridging Pharma and IT, innovating drug discovery, and promoting RDF and ontologies. Active in conferences and workshops, we aim to guide others in leveraging the Semantic Web in modern research.

  1. BioRDF Task Force

  2. BioRDF Activities • Explore the effectiveness of current tools for making data available as RDF/OWL • Build a life sciences demo that spans from bench to bedside using RDF/OWL to help scientist better understand the value of the Semantic Web • Document our finding to help accelerate the adoption of the Semantic Web by others http://esw.w3.org/topic/HCLSIG_BioRDF_Subgroup

  3. Tool Assessment

  4. Life Sciences Demo • Created a knowledge base for Alzheimer’s Disease • Details during Alan’s talk

  5. Presentations • WWW2007 Demo • ISMB 2007 Demo • ISMB BioOntology SIG Poster 2007 • Society for Neuroscience Poster Nov 2007 • Bridging Pharma and IT • Drug Discovery Technology of Innovative Therapeutics • Bio-IT World • Modern Drug Discovery and Development Summit • Massachusetts Biotechnology Panel • eScience Institute; RDF, Ontologies and Meta-Data Workshop • Systems Biology Conference • Semantic Web Gathering

  7. BioRDF Participants John Barkley (NIST), Olivier Bodenreider (NLM), Bill Bug (Drexel), Kei Cheung (Yale University), Tim Clark (MGH), Don Doherty (Brainstage Research), Michel Dumontier (Carlton University), Ray Hookaway (HP), Vipul Kashyap (Partners), June Kinoshita (AlzForum), Joanne Luciano (Mitre), Scott Marshall (University of Amsterdam), Eric Neumann (Clinical Semantics), Eric Prud’hommeaux (W3C), Daniel Rubin (Stanford University), Jonathan Rees (Creative Commons), Alan Ruttenburg (Creative Commons), Matthias Samwald (Medical University of Vienna), Andy Seaborne (HP), Karen Skinner (NIH), Susie Stephens (Lilly), Elizabeth Wu (AlzForum).

  8. Summary • Brought domain experts together • Learnt about Semantic Web technologies and tools • Created a contiguous ontology • Working on documents, e.g. URI note
