Re: LODD Telcon

Dear all,

I have compiled some agenda items and points of discussion for today's telecon about the LODD paper:

 * Finding consensus on style of the paper and target audience. I suggest that we focus on a high-level, not-too-technical view of the problem and our solution. Should appeal to all stakeholders.
 * Agreeing on overall paper structure (keeping in mind that we have a limit of only 1500 words for the main section).
 * Ask @Claus and @Susie if they could provide a paragraph about requirements from pharma perspective. 
 * What is _part_ of LODD and what is only _related_ and connected to LODD? Where do we draw the line? A bit difficult to decide for some data sets.
 * We should decide on a demo scenario. Neuropharmacology (including novel datasets, possibly ABA) would be a good candidate. Should we also use some of the queries presented by @Eric in his presentation?
 * Problems with integrating the Allen Brain Atlas (ABA) in its current version (the result of the GRDDL transform of ABA XML is only mildly useful for our purposes, since many key entities are not identified with URIs)
 * Interfaces we use for the demo: TripleMap, Sig.ma, maybe Exhibit (based on a simple script that digests SPARQL results). Any others?
 * @Chris, can you provide a short paragraph about TripleMap? Also, we might need your help formulating queries in TripleMap and providing screenshots once we have decided on a demo scenario.
 * How to deal with SPARQL queries and code -- I suggest placing most queries and code on a wiki page and reference it from the paper, instead of integrating them into the paper.
 * The paper should end with with a paragraph describing the next steps we plan with LODD. What are they? Could @Susie formulate this paragraph?
 * Discussion of other ideas by LODD participants.

The deadline for submission is November 29. Given that this should be a rather condensed paper, it currently seems achievable to finish the paper in time. Please use the Google-Doc to collect ideas and text snippets.

Cheers,
Matthias Samwald
