Grant Enables Ontology Based Database
Miller School researchers have received a $2.5 million grant to develop a novel database to enable neuroscientists to search the voluminous number of studies related to nervous system repair, and link relevant data from those studies to other resources.
Read MoreThe Meanings of Ontology
Ontologies are the newest label attached to knowledge organization systems (KOSs). They are generally specific modules and models developed by the knowledge management community. Stanford University has developed an ontology software called Protégé, which people seem to either love or hate. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of middle ground. They are either very fond of it: “Oh, I just love Protégé!”; or they hate it: “I don’t understand that tool; it doesn’t make any sense to me.” I don’t know which class you will fall into, but it is open source software and it is available. So, try it out and make your own decision.
Read MoreAnother Unique Use for Semantic Technology
Poderopedia is a project that aims to promote greater transparency in Chile by mapping and visualizing the relationships among the country’s elite. To achieve this, semantic technologies are being utilized to store and query data. These technologies represent a diverse set of relations between entities (people, companies, organizations) in a flexible way. By identifying the power and influence of people, key Chilean political, civic and business leaders can be identified. OWL (Web Ontology Language) is being used to define the vocabulary because it provides the semantic richness needed.

Read MoreAuthor Contributions – A Confusing and Imprecise Science
In Boston on May 16 at Harvard University, The Wellcome Trust hosted the International Workshop on Contributorship and Scholarly Attribution. Several presenters outlined other roles we should probably begin to acknowledge and what those roles are. Over the last two weeks I reported on some of the talks made at the workshop. This is the final summary from that meeting.
Ginny Barbour is the chief editor of PLOS Medicine for the well-known Public Library of Science (PLoS). Her talk was on “PLOS: Big science and medicine and the attribution of authorship.” She pointed out that past solutions for author attribution do not work. Big science and the accompanying data sets create new attribution problems. “We have been trying to solve the wrong problem” she said.
