Re: Reminder: Sci Discourse concall Friday Apr 3 11am-noon Boston time

Dear Tim,

John Madden has told us that he can only come on the second day of the 
F2F because of clinical duties on the first day (when the task breakouts 
are planned). Because many task forces seem to have interest and 
applications for terminologies, we made a dedicated slot for that 
discussion on the second day. The agenda was updated to reflect that:
http://esw.w3.org/topic/HCLSIG/Meetings/2009-04-30_F2F

Of course, that shouldn't stop us from brainstorming on the first day 
and in e-mail and teleconferences before then. Many ideas are already 
circulating that we can work out and refine before the F2F.

Some of the general ideas now circulating include:

* Federated query has applications in multiple task forces (BioRDF, COI, 
LODD)

* Using terminologies to annotate/tag data (BioRDF, SciDisc)

* Using terminologies to support query building for a knowledge base 
where there is some overlap/relation between the terms and the knowledge 
base contents

* Using terminologies to support query building for data that has been 
annotated with *precisely* that terminology

* Storing generally useful queries and tagging them so that they can be 
found again

In yesterday's HCLS call, John told us that he can probably get some 
anonymized data that has been annotated with SNOMED. This seems like an 
ideal next step for Terminology.

I agree that coming up with an alignment path between Scientific 
Discourse and Terminology tasks would be very useful, as well as similar 
alignments with other task forces such as BioRDF.
