WAVe: jQuery Tree online

WAVe finally has a Javascript tree. There are many many issues with the data… PubMed ID values are being passed to OMIM addresses… don’t know what’s wrong! Still have to rewrite the xmlCard methods and re-test (and comment) all the tree functions!

Semantic Web in GEN2PHEN

GEN2PEHN Semantic Web developments are gaining momentum in the scientific research community: the usage of semantics is finally being considered as a valuable solution to integrate resources and compose services. The Semantic Web can be seen as a set of new ideas regarding the way we think about our data and, subsequently, about our applications. [...]

Semantic Web in 20 minutes – Part 2

Full morning presenting “Semantic Web in 20 minutes”. Several questions but I guess I’ve managed to explain everything… don’t really know what the general opinion from “upstairs” but we’ll see… The afternoon was lost trying to install PHP and OpenConf in CICUA’s bioserver!

Semantic Web in 20 Minutes

And today I’ve finished the keynote regarding Semantic Web due tomorrow. Also created a new mockup for EU-ADR Web Platform and was given a new one to do. Tomorrow it is. Also JLO has greenlit my attendance to the EBI Summer School in June. Hope I can get in.

Finally finished LOVD importer based on their REST Atom Feeds API. It takes a long time to import everything and even more time to get the PubMed publications associated with each gene (only genes with variants: 91 minutes).

Pedrolopes.net with Clean URLs

Some new updates on Pedrolopes.net also. Included header and footer (.php) in the various files to easy the update process. Added .htaccess rules to enable pretty URLs. No more about.php, just about!

Stripes & jQuery -> =(

Spent most of the day trying to put Stripes working with jQuery for an autocomplete search box… The idea is to show autocomplete when searching for genes! It was really complex and it is not working. The main problem are the autocomplete plugins who usually search by appending a “q=” to the provided URL search [...]

Stripes

Started development on WAVe web application component. I guess GWT is overly complicated and I should follow a simpler solution… so Java Stripes it is!! Really love the clean url rewrite engine! Next, create a simple autocomplete form with jQuery and next, plan the site based on the mockups!

Octopus

2010 started with the death octopus arrival at the northern sea shore… If we only knew… it was only the beginning! Another post-apocalyptic tale from another dimension!

Black & White

A tale from a troubled mind… Just like Jekyll and Hyde, White has a lover who he cannot harm or hurt… but Black loves her so much that he hates her for not being with him. A criminal rises!
