Hello Michael, Sorry I didn't see this email from you since I have been traveling. I am aware of the scovo vocabulary. Actually scovo is used in the voiD [1] vocabulary to describe statistics about data and I am one member of the voiD working group. Although scovo is a well-designed model to serve its purpose, we have found that it is quite difficult to query for datasets using this vocabulary. Hence, in the current voiD working group, proposing an alternative model to describe statistics of datasets has been a high priority. We are planning to release voiD2.0 including a new statistics model around Christmas. It would be nice if I can gather more user requirements from you and people on this list.:) [1] http://rdfs.org/ns/void-guide Best, Jun mdmiller wrote: > hi all, > > on a different HCLS thread i saw this proposal from jeni tennison for > specifying a generic dataset, it might be a useful way to encode a list of > differentially expressed genes. it looks like one could do this encoding on > the fly, so that the data itself at the source could be in whatever format > is natural. > > http://sw.joanneum.at/scovo/schema.html > > cheers, > michael > > Michael Miller > mdmiller53@comcast.net > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Kei Cheung" <kei.cheung@yale.edu> > To: "Helen Parkinson" <parkinson@ebi.ac.uk> > Cc: "HCLS" <public-semweb-lifesci@w3.org>; "Tony Burdett" > <tburdett@ebi.ac.uk> > Sent: Wednesday, October 14, 2009 7:03 PM > Subject: Re: Action Items from call today > > >> Thanks, Helen. >> >> To make it more concrete.
