RE: Semantic Web Challenge winner - in HCLS domain

+1 for the Heisenberg quote:

exposed to our method of questioning" ~ Werner

Good old Werner had it right.

Dear All,

The judges of the ISWC 2013 Semantic Web Challenge
chose as the winner
of the Big Data Track this year a work that fits
entirely in the
health care/life sciences integration domain. This
work would not have
been possible if it weren't for the fruitful
conversations and
interactions enabled by this mailing list. So,
congrats to all!

Here is an article about it in the Wall Street
Journal:

"Big Data Track challenge winner:

"Fostering Serendipity through Big Linked Data" by
Muhammad Saleem,
Maulik R. Kamdar, Aftab Iqbal, Shanmukha Sampath,
Helena F. Deus and
Axel-Cyrille Ngonga Ngomo; this system shows how
high volume and high
velocity of latest published bio-medical research
papers from PubMed
can be intelligently and semantically integrated
within the Linked
Cancer Genome Atlas dataset (TCGA), thus
supporting and facilitating
cancer researchers in their important work.

"We were very impressed to see this year's
challengers address real
world problems and in some cases already see them
having a societal
impact. The winners of the 2013 SWC have
successfully combined
innovative semantic web technology with an end
user practical focus
and efficiency in use," explained SWC co-chairs
Andreas Harth,
Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and Sean
Bechhofer, University of
Manchester."


Kind Regards,
Helena
