hi all, here's my modified first paragraph to question 6: No. However, the more entities and predicates there are in common between two data sets, the easier those two datasets can be integrated or 'joined' in a query, without loss of information or gain in noise. The use of any ontology when mapping data is already an improvement over tags or unstructured text which often force integration to rely simply on lexical or 'string' similarity. Indeed, if the same ontologies or URIs are used in different data sets, the level of effort required is much less than if the ontologies are different. But often there are domains that are represented by different organizations, for instance the multiple protein and gene databases that have existed side by side with separate funding, or separate but related domains such as drug and adverse reaction knowledge bases. In case different ontologies have been used in each data set, it is sometimes possible to use alignment information between the two ontologies in order to translate to a single mapping. This is the case in the above example where the protein and gene databases have rich cross references between them. (if this looks useful, please add me to the list of contributors, thanks!) cheers, michael Michael Miller Software Engineer Institute for Systems Biology > -----Original Message----- > From: linkedlifedatapracticesnote@googlegroups.com > [mailto:linkedlifedatapracticesnote@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of M. > Scott Marshall > Sent: Monday, October 29, 2012 6:11 AM > To: HCLS; linkedlifedatapracticesnote@googlegroups.com > Subject: [linkedlifew3cnote] EUROPE at 4PM CET!!!: Linked Life Data telco on > Emerging Practices Note 11AM ET / *4PM CET* today > > Dear Linked Lifers, > > [EUROPEANS note the time of the teleconference is 1 hour *EARLIER* due > to Daylight Savings Time.] > > The last version version of the IG Note is attached.
