In a week BioHackathon 2014 will start (http://www.biohackathon.org/). It will be my first time ins this kind of "meeting". I will give a talk about PRIDE and ProteomeXchange and future developments of both platforms (below the complete list of talks).
But first, a quick introduction of BioHackathon. National Bioscience Database Center (NBDC) and Database Center for Life Science (DBCLS) have been organizing annual BioHackathon since 2008, mainly focusing on standardization (ontologies, controlled vocabularies, metadata) and interoperability of bioinformatics data and web services for improving integration (semantic web, web services, data integration), preservation and utilization of databases in life sciences. This year, we will focus on the standardization and utilization of human genome information with Semantic Web technologies in addition to our previous efforts on semantic interoperability and standardization of bioinformatics data and Web services.
BioHackathon 2014 will be focus in these topics:
In addition to the efforts in the past BioHackathons including development of tools, ontologies, RDF data and accumulation of best practices, we will focus on the standardization and utilization of human genome information:
- Topics may cover the following domains, but are not limited to:
- Standardization of RDF data and development of tools/ontologies
- Human genome/variation and medical information
- Animal, plant and microbial genomes
- Ortholog/phylogenomic databases
- Proteomics, metabolomics, glycomics etc.
- Text-mining and ontology mapping
- Documentation and visualization of RDF model
- URI transformation and mapping for interlinking resources
- Quality assessment of SPARQL endpoints
- Applications based on Linked Open Data
- Natural language processing and QA system
- Utilization of TogoStanza, TogoTable etc.
