Invited Lectures - Semantic web technology in translational cancer research
Michael Krauthammer, Department of Pathology, Yale University School of Medicine, USA
Michael Krauthammer received his M.D. degree at the University of Zurich, Switzerland. After board certification (general practitioner), he obtained a Ph.D. in biomedical informatics at Columbia University in New York and joined the Yale Pathology Informatics program in July, 2004. His main research interests are the design of large scale text and image mining systems and research in translational informatics.
He is the co-director of the bioinformatics core of the Yale SPORE in skin cancer, a large translational research program, and member of the Yale Cancer Center (YCC) informatics steering committee. He is the Yale PI for adopting caBIG's caTISSUE specimen tracking system across the Yale Medical Campus, enabling Yale researcher to manage their tissue banks and share data via the caGRID infrastructure.
He is involved, on a national level, in enabling the collaboration among existing skin SPORE programs using caBIG technology. The project, termed "melaGRID", that is carried out by using semantic web technologies, will allow for the sharing of clinical, tissue and omics data, and will be instrumental for performing cross-institutional biomarker studies in melanoma. - Web 2.0 + Web 3.0 = Web 5.0? Using Ontologies to bring Web Services on to the Semantic Web
Mark Wilkinson, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada
Mark is an Assistant Professor of Medical Genetics at the University of British Columbia, in Vancouver. He is also PI in Bioinformatics at the Heart & Lung Research Institute at St. Paul's Hospital. His primary research interests relate to the construction and use of Semantic systems in the biomedical domain, and in particular the role of mass-collaboration in the development and maintenance of Semantic Web technologies and frameworks. He is founder and leader of the BioMoby project and founder and leader of the SHARE project.
He will be discussing the BioMoby project and how it opened his eyes to what the Semantic Web could look like, and what mistakes were made along the way. He will then go on to discuss plans for the next generation of Moby Semantic Web Services, where he attempt to make Web Service access completely transparent, such that the "Deep Web" can be queried just like any other Semantic Web resource.
