CLEF: Clinical e-Science FrameworkProject Description
|

ComparaGRIDIntegrating genomic data across species boundaries is critical to the successful exploitation of previous investment in this area. Systematic attempts to do this have thus far carried a single species focus e.g. annotating the genome of one species using functional data from a second. Due to the multiple potential views that could be applied to the combined data set, a generalised ‘warehousing’ approach will not succeed. ComparaGRID aims to build a system to capture the details of relationships between genomic data either within or across species in a way that will enable complex ad-hoc queries to be run and demonstrate that the underlying raw data can be combined to draw maximum benefit from those data for all genomic communities.

CO-ODE / HyOntUseAs ontology development becomes more widespread and the Web Ontology Language, OWL, gathers interest from more and more communities, it is vital that tools that enable the technology develop along a user-oriented path. The CO-ODE and HyOntUse projects aim to provide support for communities interested in OWL by developing materials, enhancing tools, and looking at some of the theoretical problems to help form usable solutions before big problems arise.

Gene Ontology Next Generation (GONG)The GONG project aims to make tools and procedures for easy migration of biological ontologies to formal languages like OWL and explore the issues related to maintenance of large biological ontologies.

SealifeThe objective of Sealife is the conception and realisation of a semantic Grid browser for the Life Sciences, which will link the existing Web to the currently emerging eScience infrastructure. The Sealife browser will allow users to automatically link a host of Web servers and Web/Grid services to the Web content he/she is visiting. This will be accomplished using eScience's growing number of Web/Grid Services and its XML-based standards and ontologies. The browser will identify terms in the pages being browsed through the background knowledge held in ontologies. Through the use of Semantic Hyperlinks, which link identified ontology terms to servers and services, the Sealife browser will offer a new dimension of context-based information integration.

e-LicoThe goal of the e-LICO project is to build a virtual laboratory for interdisciplinary collaborative research in data mining and data-intensive sciences. The proposed e-lab will comprise three layers: the e-science and data mining layers will form a generic research environment that can be adapted to different scientific domains by customizing the application layer.
