Towards Knowledge Federation for Biomedical Applications

Towards Knowledge Federation for Biomedical Applications Pedro Lopes & José Luís Oliveira DOI: 10.1145/2063518.2063530 I-Semantics 2011, 7th International Conference on Semantic Systems; September 2011 – Graz, Austria Open publication - Free publishing - More semantic Abstract: Knowledge federation is a particular matter of concern in the life sciences domain. The magnitude of data generated by biomedical software and hardware since... Read More

Google Maps LSDB Locator

LSDB locator could use Google Maps API to generate a worldwide map about LSDB locations and display relevant information about the LSDBs. We could use myLSDB API to gather this information or use LSDB Locator inside myLSDB (as a feature, users could provide their location).  Read More

Google Maps Variation Viewer

Use Google Maps API to create a state-of-the-art visual variation viewer. We could use Google’s features to navigate through sequence variations and obtain more informations about a specific variation, based on the  navigational GPS metaphor: show nearby locations, monuments, similar variations…  Read More

LSDB Connector

Create a “semi-manual” LSDB integration engine, using Arabella crawler to gather links and HGVS list as a base. Do some case-by-case work and convert to a pseudo-LRG format. Having the data mined and categorized would enable a search mechanism among variations: inclusion in GeneBrowsers as an API and the creation a simple variation search engine.  Read More

BioWikifier + BioWikifier API

Using ConceptWeb Linker ideas, we could create a simple text parsing mechanism that could be added as an extension to DiseaseCard that would search the original application pages for a list of terms and would then create an interface above them. It would involve changing the original applications but could be used to extend the reality of the integrated applications (whatever they are). Additionally, there could be an API that developers could use... Read More
