INVITATION TO NCBO SEMINAR ON “ASK™"
ON AUGUST 5, 2009, 10:00 AM PDT (WEBEX)
STANFORD, CA - August 3,
2009.
The next NCBO Seminar Series will be held
Wednesday, Aug 5, at 10am PST. The
seminar will be presented by Dr. Erich Gombocz,
Vice President, Chief Scientific Officer at IO
Informatics, Inc. The title of the talk will
be “Practical use with major implications:
Applied Semantic Knowledgebase (ASK™) for Predictive
Biology.”
Below is Information on how to join this week’s
online meeting and accompanying teleconference. Please
note there will not be a VOIP option, and attendees
must call into the teleconference.
For more information about the series, please visit
the Seminar Series home page http://www.bioontology.org/seminar_series.html.
Information on how to join this week’s webinar is given
below. To receive information on or to join any future
meetings, please contact skanel@stanford.edu.
This series aims to showcase new projects,
technologies and ideas in biomedical ontology by
featuring the work of a different collaborator each
session. It is a webinar held online, and as such is
open to anyone interested, regardless of location or
affiliation. The sponsoring organization, the National
Center for Biomedical Ontology (http://www.bioontology.org),
is a consortium of leading biologists, clinicians,
informaticians, and ontologists who develop innovative
technology and methods allowing scientists to create,
disseminate, and manage biomedical information and
knowledge in machine-processable form.
We hope to see you there.
Abstract: (A full abstract
and speaker bio is available on the NCBO website at (http://www.bioontology.org/videos/ASK.html)
Predictive biology has been a major goal for several
years, but has been hampered by difficulties in
meaningful semantic integration of heterogeneous
experimental and public data, and the difficulty in
understanding the complex biological functions
involved. Building on advanced data access and
integration capabilities, this talk will present how
semantic patterns are used to create conclusive network
models using virtually any combination of internal
experimental data and / or external published
information. Using SPARQL queries to build complex
searches across multiple information sets, patterns
within and between different data types and
relationships can be detected, even if the initial
datasets are not formally joined under any common
database schema or data federation method. A collection
of such models is then placed in an Applied Semantic
Knowledgebase (ASK) unique to a specific research
focus.
In a live demo using combinatorial biomarkers to
categorize treatment-specific toxicity responses
involving a set of very different biological functions,
it is shown how ASK makes it possible to actively
screen distributed datasets, to identify and stratify
results – applicable to target assessment, compound
efficacy, toxicity profiling, disease signatures,
clinical trials pre-screening, and patient
stratification to provide informed decisions in life
science and personalized medicine.
