Biositemaps Presentation IMAG Peter Lyster National Institute of General Medical Sciences February 2, 2010
The Problem Need for widely-available and recognized technology for inventory and integration of NIH resources. Vision statement:Cannata N, Merelli E, Altman RB (2005) Time to Organize the Bioinformatics Resourceome. PLoS Computational Biology Challenge from NIH Management: Dr. Zerhouni request for catalogue of NIH resources, 2007. Biositemaps: Borrows Google sitemaps (www.sitemaps.org) idea of distributed content (biositemap.rdf) and minimal central control. The key modification is the Information Model (IM) and Biomedical Resource Ontology (BRO) as a standard for annotating resources. Use case:iTools; Dinov ID, Rubin D, Lorensen W, Dugan J, Ma J, Murphy S, Kirschner B, Bug W, Sherman M, Floratos A, Kennedy D, Jagadish HV, Schmidt J, Athey B, Califano A, Musen M, Altman R, Kikinis R, Kohane I, Delp S, Parker DS, Toga AW. "iTools: a framework for classification, categorization and integration of computational biology resources." PLoS ONE 2008; 3(5): e2265. PMID: 18509477.
An example of biositemaps is the content for the Compendium of government initiatives with elements of biomedical informatics and computational biology:Google “BISTI Compendium”.
Biomedical Resource Ontology(Classification scheme is accessed at BioPortal) • Funding_Resource • Information_Resource • Material_Resource • People_Resource • Service_Resource • Software • Training_Resource
Collaborations and Adoption • National Centers for Biomedical Computing • Clinical and Translational Science Awards • Other ICs and government agencies The End Contact: Peter Lyster lysterpe@nigms.nih.gov
