if you want to look/search for relevant 'standards' see also the BioSharing
catalogue (http://biosharing.org) which now extends the mibbi portal.

Hi Jodi, nice talk.

 As a general question, shouldn't the description of  experiments be
something to be described by domain specific ontologies? Also, there are
repositories for experiments, e.g  Array express for microarrays; there are
also minimal standards for reporting several experimental
procedures, shouldn't the sections in the document make use of, pointing to,
these resources? if ORB and other document related ontologies go into
describing experimental information I am afraid it may be difficult
to maintain and not very practical to implement.

 fine-graining ORB should, in my opinion, make use of other ontologies for
addressing domain specific issues. for instance, if a researcher wants to go
deeper into materials and methods most likely the information that will
allow him/her to "replicate" the experiment will be living somewhere else in
the web; also, most likely there will be an ontology for specific
experimental procedures, measures, etc involved.

 Once the structure of the document is solved it is easy to use resources
such as bio2rdf to resolve it against existing resources in the web. if not,
then authors can easily point to these external resources -AO can easily
deal with such a use case. my point is, experimental information is highly
domain specific and there are now ontologies (OBI) and repositories for
experimental information as well as efforts
for standardizing minimal amounts of information (
http://www.mibbi.org/index.php/Main_Page) for reporting specific
experimental procedures, shouldn't the fine grained structure of ORB  seek
to make use of these resources?
