Action items review

   ACTION: Alan asks Olivier about MeSH terms [recorded in
   [10]http://www.w3.org/2007/03/19-BioRDF-minutes.html#action01]

   <vipul> Don update on mapping of BAM names

   ACTION: Elizabeth to ask June about states of Alz [recorded in
   [11]http://www.w3.org/2007/03/19-BioRDF-minutes.html#action02]

   ACTION: Alan to show example of curation contradiction, biology
   contradiction for demo, based on Kei's action [CONTINUES] [recorded in
   [12]http://www.w3.org/2007/03/19-BioRDF-minutes.html#action03]

   AlanR: two types of contradiction
   ... statement -- two people say X said something different
   ... biology -- brain has 3, no 4 (latent discovery), receptors
   ... demonstrated as little snippets
   ... in how OWL reasoning helps us

   AlanR: general issue is mapping (sameAs or equivClass)
   ... Don looking at this for MESH terms

   ACTION: Kei look at
   [13]http://hissa.nist.gov/jb/biordf-demo/bams_cell_names.txt too. Alan
   send list to Cell ontology people for maps as well. [CONTINUES]
   [recorded in
   [14]http://www.w3.org/2007/03/19-BioRDF-minutes.html#action05]

   ACTION: Don will try to map these lists to MESH. Talk to Bill Bug.
   [CONTINUES] [recorded in
   [15]http://www.w3.org/2007/03/19-BioRDF-minutes.html#action06]

   Olivier: OWL version of MESH is unoffical and unsupported
   ... MESH requested it be withdrawn because it has bad features:
   ... wrond IDs
   ... oversimplifies MESH
   ... leads to inaccurate relations
   ... (liver is a kind of abdomen)

   AlanR: were planning to use it because they had URIs for MESH terms

   Olivier: they are the wrong URIs -- used tree number, which simply
   indicates the position in the MESH tree
   ... should use MESH id (starts with D for main headings), and not
   numbers with '.'s in them
   ... a main heading have several tree numbers
   ... not unique

   AlanR: we need URIs for MESH terms

   Olvier: point well taken
   ... for this purpose, make up a URI: NLM + "mesh" + MESH id

   Matthias: did this. will send URL after meeting

   Olivier: probably much to use Matthias's version
   ... Gus Shriber also translated MESH to SKOS last summer
   ...have mapped every UMLs concept to MESH

   ACTION: ScottM to get a URL from Gus Shriber for MESH work [recorded
   in [16]http://www.w3.org/2007/03/19-BioRDF-minutes.html#action07]

   ACTION: Olivier to provide guidance to Don Doherty for finding
   mappings between BAM and MeSH [recorded in
   [17]http://www.w3.org/2007/03/19-BioRDF-minutes.html#action08]

   <samwaldmatthias> Here is the URL for my newer SKOS version of MeSH
   2007, based on the unique MeSH IDs:
   [18]http://neuroscientific.net/ont/bio-zen-MESH-new.zip

   Kei: we have example inconsistent data in NeuronDB

   ACTION: Kei to identify URL for terms in
   [19]http://hissa.nist.gov/jb/biordf-demo/bams_part_names.txt that are
   already in neurondb etc [WITHDRAWN] [recorded in
   [20]http://www.w3.org/2007/03/19-BioRDF-minutes.html#action09]

   ACTION: Kei, Bill to identify URL for terms in
   [21]http://hissa.nist.gov/jb/biordf-demo/bams_part_names.txt that are
   already in neurondb etc [recorded in
   [22]http://www.w3.org/2007/03/19-BioRDF-minutes.html#action10]

   <mscottm> The Guus Schreiber student that I think was involved with
   the MESH SKOS work is Willem van Hage
   [23]http://www.few.vu.nl/~wrvhage/index_work.html

   ACTION: Don see what's in brainmaps that would be of use for our
   scientific use case and demo [CONTINUES] [recorded in
   [24]http://www.w3.org/2007/03/19-BioRDF-minutes.html#action12]

   Don: just looking to see if we can use [25]http://brainmaps.org/

   ACTION: Melli will think about what image processing could be done on
   brainmaps images [CONTINUES] [recorded in
   [26]http://www.w3.org/2007/03/19-BioRDF-minutes.html#action13]

MESH terms

   AlanR: want MESH to PubMed mapping
   ... what do MESH descriptions of pubmed terms mean?

   Olivier: '*'s reprepsent main topic in medline paper
   ... subheadings give facets of the main heading
   ... main headings identify single MESH term

   Note: main medline headings identify a single MESH term

   AlanR: first things is MESH term, and each '/' is a facet, and '*'
   someone signifies special lines

   ACTION: Olivier to send (to list) pointer to MESH curation manual
   [recorded in
   [27]http://www.w3.org/2007/03/19-BioRDF-minutes.html#action14]

   ACTION: Olivier to send pointer to a pubmedID to MESHid mapping
   [recorded in
   [28]http://www.w3.org/2007/03/19-BioRDF-minutes.html#action15]

update on use case

   ericP: am importing JAX data into
   [29]http://www.w3.org/2007/03/entrez-gene/snapshots/

   AlanR: start with accurate set of MESH terms

   <mscottm> Mark van Assem.

   <mscottm> [30]http://thesauri.cs.vu.nl/

   AlanR: our demo keeps us on track
   ... but our real compelling demo will come from things that people
   like June discover as we assemble this

   Kei: in senselab, we export in RDF and OWL
   ... which should we focus on?

   AlanR: prefer OWL -- just a focused sublanguage of RDF

   <samwaldmatthias> [31]http://3ba.se/

   <samwaldmatthias> [32]http://3ba.se/

   -> [33]http://3ba.se/ OntoWiki

   matthias: on left, see KBs

   -> [34]http://3ba.se/instance.php?model=http://3ba.se/conferences/

   scribe: classes on left
   ... classes and individuals rendered differently
   ... clicking on a class gives a list of individuals

   [35]http://3ba.se/index.php?instance=AIMSA2006

   scribe: can click on Edit, or in-line in the actions box
   ... would like to use OntoWiki to show that RDF is not something the
   scientists use in the labs and they export data, but instead something
   that we can use
   ... OntoWiki not tailored to a particular ontology, just upload
   RDFS/OWL and you can visualize the data

   vipul: can you edit classes, or just instances?

   matthias: can add classes, but this is not the main use case

   vipul: could import all our demo data into wiki

   matthias: shouldn't be an afterthought

   vipul: also considering faceted browser
   ... also AlanR's prefuse

   <samwaldmatthias> prefuse

   scott: faceted browser of OntoWiki are handy for browsing data
   ... the faceted browser incorporates selected facets into a query
   ... faceted browser shows thumbnails and "..." for plentiful data for
   further refinement

   <alanr> times up

   <alanr> got to go...

   matthias: yes, can SPARQL OntoWiki

   <alanr> Welcome Michael!

   vipul: would like scott amd matthias to recommend UI

introduce Michael Heuer

   <vipul> Gotta go...

   <mscottm> Mark van Assem.

   <mscottm> [36]http://thesauri.cs.vu.nl/

   UNKNOWN_SPEAKER: have a couple weeks slack and volunteering to Alzgene
   to OWL

   Elizabeth: you have contacts at Alzforum?

   AlanR: working me right now

   <mscottm> Mark van Assem.

   <mscottm> [37]http://thesauri.cs.vu.nl/

   life course of the disease [CONTINUES] [recorded in
   [39]http://www.w3.org/2007/03/19-BioRDF-minutes.html#action16]

   ACTION: Kei: Brainpharm OWL should have enough to do query for known
   contradictions, e.g. disagreement about whether something is in a
   particular compartment [CONTINUES] [recorded in
