Re: Katy Wolstencroft @ Systems Biology Task Force - Wed 18th April at 11AM EDT - TODAY!

+1 

Or another time?  

I signed on, but couldn't stay had to catch a train (FYI - highly recommend the train to/from Rensselaer / NY city. Beautiful ride along the east bank of the Hudson river (2.5 hrs for planning purposes))

Sorry to miss you Katy!

Also, in case any of you have not seem Katy's earlier work on classifying phosphotases check it out.  It is a beautiful straightforward example of using defined classes in OWL and reasoners to do science. I have used that example many times.

Katy- were you able to get the wet lab experiment done to look for the unclassified phosphate?

> The SEEK is an open-source, web-based platform for the management and exchange of Systems Biology data, models and processes. It was originally developed in the SysMO-DB project (http://www.sysmodb.org) for the pan-European SysMO consortia (Systems Biology of Micro Organisms). However, it is now also being adopted by a large number of other consortia across Europe, for example, the Virtual Liver, EviMalar and Unicellsys.
> The SEEK is an e-Laboratory. In addition to providing a registry and repository of Systems Biology data, it provides facilities for model simulation, data exploration and is a gateway to other useful resources, such as JWS Online, BioModels and the BioPortal. Taverna workflows will also be available for discovering and running through SEEK, giving SEEK users access to a collection of complex Systems Biology analysis methods and data integration protocols (http://www.myexperiment.org/packs/47.html)
> Underlying the SEEK is the JERM (Just Enough Results Model), which is a minimum information model describing the relationships between SEEK assets. The JERM incorporates the ISA structure (Investigation, Study, Assay) to associate data with the assays that generated them, and to allow the aggregation of assays into wider studies and investigations. JERM data compliance is managed by the distribution of JERM spreadsheet templates, which can be semantically enabled with RightField, a tool that embeds collections of ontology terms into specific spreadsheet cells. Ongoing work is exploring extracting, storing and querying collected data and metadata in RDF.
