RE: [HCLSIG] A Basic Neuroscientist Use Case

I think that these thoughts are extremely interesting.  One thing that
jumps out at me is that you are saying there may be value in working
with datasets that belong to a single organization as opposed to the
cross-organization situation most people seem to have been talking
about.  If so, there are a lot of simplifications that can occur if you
assume that you are behind a firewall working within a single
organization.  That is, an intranet rather than the internet.  In
particular, you may not need to deal with potentially really difficult
authentication and authorization issues, or if you do there may be much
easier solutions available on an intranet.

I might say that most of the Semantic Web applications I can imagine in
our industry, at least in a reasonable time frame, are on intranets.

Subject: [HCLSIG] A Basic Neuroscientist Use Case

Hello Everyone,

Over the past couple of weeks I've been trying to absorb the group's
activity and figure out how I may contribute.

My background is in basic neuroscience research. I've been involved in a
variety of projects but my main research has been in signal processing
in the somatosensory (sense of touch) system and I remain in a close
working relationship with bench researchers. 

Attached is a short blurb where I jotted down some of my thoughts.

Don
