Ontology in 3DEM Roberto Marabini & JMC
Currentsituations • Most of 3DEM software has someform of logging of a particular run • Somesystems record loggingsfor series of runs of differentsteps • … but, can thesedifferentrun be easilyinterrelated?
Currentsituations • As anexample, given a 3D map, can weeasilyaccessalltheprocessingstepsleadingtothismap? (theinformation per se mayexist, butisiteasilyaccessible in anorganizedmanner?) • …. And, whataboutifwehavechanged of package in between?. • … Probablynot.
Howfar are wefromanOntologyfor 3DEM ImageProcessing? • AnOntology in imageprocessingisaboutcarefullydescribingtherelationshipbetweenthepossibleprocessingsteps, and how are theyinterrelated, includingtheir input and output data and metadata. • ….

General comment • However, a generallyaccepted 3DEM ImageProcessingOntologydevelopmentwillneed a verydeepconsensuswithintheCommunity…. • … and muchsimplertasks are still “in themaking”, such as theworkon “InterchangePoints” and “InterchangeInformation” addressedyesterday • At thesametype, and in thearea of “3D data deposition” (broaderthan “ImageProcessing”), workon “ControlledVocabularies” in thearea of imageprocessingstillrequiresomework
Conclussions • Letconsider “Priority 1” fornextmeeting • A) Tofinishthework at “InterchangePoints” • B) Toend up with a new version of EMDB vocabulary • Then, letdiscussifwefeel as a “Priority 2” tasktostarttheworkaround a 3DEM Img.Proc.
