messages to Data Integration in Life Sciences conf

Ther's a conf call DILS (program link below:)
  http://dils2008.lri.fr/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=16
Of our lot, Michel and Holger might be going (Holger is trying, I
haven't asked Michel). What messages do we have to deliver to
A. the individual sessions
B. the folks who will likely attend
?

Here are my notes from scanning the agenda (and regretting that I
won't be there):

          BioWarehouse: Relational Integration of Eleven
          Bioinformatics Databases and Formats
    
          Session 1: Annotation in scientific data
          integration
    
            • Integrating Protein-Protein Interactions and
              text Mining for protein Function Prediction,
              Samira Jaeger, Sylvain Gaudan, Ulf Leser,
    03:15     Dietrich Rebholz-Schuhmann
    -
    04:15   • Integrating Biological Data – The Distributed
    pm        Annotation System, Andrew M Jenkinson, Mario
              Albrecht, Ewan Birney, Hagen Blankenburg,
              Thomas Down, Robert D Finn, Henning Hermjakob,
              Tim JP Hubbard, Rafael C Jimenez, Philip Jones,
              Andreas Kahari, Eugene Kulesha, José R Macias,
    04:15     Gabrielle A Reeves and Andreas Prlic

This sounds to me like labeling a text string in HTML, Word, ... with
something that allows them to unify based on that term. Relevent to
Sudeshna's Scientific Collaboration Framework.

    -     Coffee
    04:45  Flash Session
    
            • Analysing Experimental Data in the context of
              Integrated Biological Networks, Jan Taubert,
              Jochen Weile, Matthew Hindle, Artem Lysenko,
              Keywan Hassani-Pak,Catherine Canevet, and Chris
              Rawlings
    
            • Terminizier: An interactive web-based tool for
              automated detection of ontological terms in
              unstructured, free-text annotation, David
              Hancock, Norman Morrison, Giles Velarde,
              Douglas Kell, and Dawn Field

Perhaps like Therese Vachon (Novartis)'s UltraLink?
    
            • Semantic Mashups with BioXMash, Patrick
              Ziegler, and Ela Hunt

            • Mixed queries for a functional genomics
    04:45     warehouse, Frederic Lemoine, Bernard Labedan,
    -         and Christine Froidevaux

How are the mixing their queries? Some meta-query lang that we can
play with/map to?

    05:15   • Mapping the NRC dataflow model to the Open
              Provenance Model, Natalia Kwasnikowska, and Jan
              Van den Bussche
    
            • UniMed: Mapping of UniProt entries to disease
              terminologies, Anais Mottaz, Yum L Yip, Julien
              Gobeill, Patrick Ruch, and Anne-Lise Veuthey

Would be fun to get ahold of this data and RDF-ize it.

            • Using a metadata approach to manage
              similarities and differences between clinical
              datasets, Irene Papatheodorou, Charles Crichton
              Lorna Morris, Peter Maccallum, James Brenton
              and Carlos Caldas

Sounds like they're factoring out info we want for COI.

            • Semi-automatic composition of bioinformatics
              Web services based on task and domain
              ontologies, Nicolas Lebreton, Olivier Dameron,
    06:00     Christophe Blanchet, and Julie Chabalier

How does this compare to Northampton or CWI's semweb service
integration? Would like to show them SPDL.

              Michael Hartung, Toralf Kirsten, and Erhard
              Rahm

Could support us if their onto-mapping needs line up with SemWeb
strengths (distributed ont development, monotonic interpretation)

    10:30   • Ontology Design Principles and Normalization
    am -      Techniques in the Web
    12:00     Xiaoshu Wang, Jonas S. Almeida, and Arlindo L.
    pm        Oliveira
    
            • Exploiting Ontology Structure and Patterns of
              Annotation to Mine Significant Associations

              Woei-Jyh Lee, Louiqa Raschid, Hassan Sayyadi,
    12:00     and Padmini Srinivasan

May provide techniques relevent to COI mapping use case (CTO queries
over CPO data)

    -     Lunch

              Natalia F. Martins, Roberto C. Togawa and
              Marcos M.C. Costa

what works for CORBA works for web services.

            • Bgee: Integrating and Comparing Heterogeneous
              Transcriptome Data Among Species
              Frederic Bastian, Gilles Parmentier, Julien
              Roux, Sebastien Moretti, Vincent Laudet and

              Henning Hermjakob, Ewan Birney and Pascal
     05:50    Kahlem

Need to talk to them about SPASQL and semantic query federation.
What's happening in ENFIN now?
