BIRN Knowledge Engineering Working Group Chair: Gully APC Burns
Core Capabilities • Knowledge Representation and Reasoning Services within BIRN specifically geared towards applications • Development of a knowledge engineering application development framework • Support for ontology development within BIRN (but collaboration rather than competition with existing ontology tech. groups) • Text mining tools and applications
Users Scientific Consortia + Communities(BIRN testbeds, NRPCs, CVRG, AlzForum, etc.) Publishers(Elsevier, etc.) Professional Societies(Society for Neuroscience, etc.) Govt. Funding Agencies(NIH, NSF, etc.) Disease Foundations(M. J. Fox Foundation, Kinetics Foundation, etc.) Partners Ontology infrastructure developers(NIF, NCBO, GO, ScienceCommonns, OBI, SNOMED, IUPHAR, etc.) Biocurators(Model Organism Databases, MGI, UniProt, etc.) BioNLP specialists and developers(BioCREATIVE group, Andrey Rhzetsky, Larry Hunter, etc.) Companies...(Chalklabs, etc) Constituencies
We are closely aligned with the Data Integration Working Group
“Novel neurotrophic factor CDNF protects midbrain dopamine neurons in vivo” * * * Lindholm, P. et al. (2007), Nature, 448(7149): p. 73-7
Data and Relations underlying the statement: “CDNF protects nigral dopaminergic neurons in vivo” labeling-density [CDNF (10ug)][4 weeks][cells] = 96 ± 3 % lesion vs. intact side behavior-count [vehicle][4 weeks] > [CDNF (10ug)][4 weeks] labeling-density [CDNF (10ug)][4 weeks][fibers] = 74 ± 3 % lesion vs. intact side derived from Figure 3 of derived from Lindholm, P. et al. (2007), Nature, 448(7149): p. 73-7
Topic Mapping CRISP datahttp://www.nihmaps.org/ Ned Talley, Program Director for Channels, Synapses and Circuits at NINDS. Much interest across all institutes of NIH.
