Re: BioRDF Telcon - Provenance related information

Hi all,
This is pursuant to our provenance-related discussion during the telecon earlier today. As part of our collaborative RO1 with the national center for biomedical ontologies (NCBO) called "Tcruzi SPSE" (http://wiki.knoesis.org/index.php/Trykipedia), we have developed an upper-level reference ontology for provenance called "provenir" modeled in OWL-DL. 
 
Provenir was developed using the OBO Foundry principles (and has been recently submitted to the OBO foundry for review), details are at: http://wiki.knoesis.org/index.php/Provenir_Ontology. We have extended Provenir ontology to create a Parasite Experiment ontology (http://wiki.knoesis.org/index.php/Parasite_Experiment_ontology) for provenance of transcriptome and gene knockout data. 
 
As Kei mentioned, we have proposed to organize a workshop at ISWC 2009 on the role of Semantic Web in provenance management (keynote by Dr. Carole Goble, if the workshop proposal is accepted). Further details are at: http://wiki.knoesis.org/index.php/SWPM-2009. 
 
A couple of references discussing our work in detail:
1. Semantic Provenance for eScience - http://knoesis.wright.edu/library/resource.php?id=00310. This paper gives a broad overview of our approach with an use case from the glycobiology domain
2. An Algebra and RDF Query Engine for Provenance - http://knoesis.wright.edu/library/resource.php?id=00706. This paper discusses the technical details of a Provenir ontology-based algebra we have proposed for provenance and an implementation of a provenance query engine over Oracle10g RDF store
 
I will be happy to discuss further details of our work in future telecons.
 
Cheers,
Satya Sahoo
