Is this page not sufficent:

Semantic Biomedical Mashups finally published

Duncan — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 10:43:20 +0000

Journal of BioInformatics Special Issue on Semantic Biomedical Mashup officially published, see http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-semweb-lifesci/2008Oct/0002.h...

awesome!! Congratulations,

dalloliogm — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 16:36:24 +0000

awesome!!
Congratulations, your blog seems to be a very useful resource.
The graphics is very good, it is very clean and easy to read.
The contents are also excellent.. I was looking for something like this since much time.
You only need a logo.

Looks great

It looks very nice indeed. I'll be interested to see how the categoriser handles "bioinformatics" :)

clustering news as microarrays

dalloliogm — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 08:57:29 +0000

I'm a microarray analyst, so I used the same techniques I use to cluster genes, but this time to cluster news!

So cool!! :)
Congratulations. What kind of approach have you used to cluster those news?

thanks Paulo

hi paulo, thanks for your help via friendfeed.com

What type of help do you

What type of help do you need?

User-friendly, High compatibility but low requirements

amejat — Tue, 06 May 2008 21:37:22 +0000

Hi Neil,

And thanks for your interest in the project. I fixed the mistake in "invaluable".

I also completely agree on the facts that:
- we need a free open source Laboratory Information Management System
- to be adopted, it needs to be user-friendly, cross-platform, highly compatible with existing open source solutions.

I had that in mind when I joined the eyeOS team, three years ago and I always kept it in mind during eyeOS development. And it is because eyeOS fits these needs that I really think it provides the perfect platform for a LIMS:
- For users, eyeOS provides a really intuitive and user-friendly desktop-like environment, accessible from anywhere.
- For developers, eyeOS provides a complete Toolkit and set of libraries to easily and quickly develop new eyeOS applications.
- For network manager, eyeOS has very low requirements. It only needs PHP and XML (javascript being provided by the navigator). It does NOT require a MySQL (or other) database or a Java server (such as Tomcat). For this reason, it can be installed on any basic hosting plan. However, it allows the easy integration of Flash (swf), Java applets or MySQL applications. Importantly, it constitutes a secured platform to store and share documents with a Virtual File System controlling the user access to files.

To conclude, the last but not the least, eyeOS is Free and Open Source. To my knowledge, it is unique.

I hope you will take time to discover this platform and agree with me on its potential.

Best regards,

Alexandre

Value

Neil — Tue, 06 May 2008 06:55:35 +0000

provides an unvaluable system

*Invaluable*, surely. I hope?

I'll be interested to see how this develops: the research world is in desperate need of a quality, open-source LIMS. However, I'm concerned that this LIMS is tied to an existing product. Everyone has a web browser, but not everyone will want to sign up for eyeOS and learn how to use it. A true web application is something more like Google Documents, where you just open a page and start work.

Remember, biologists will look for any excuse not to learn how to use an application; you need to keep the entry barrier as low as possible.

How is bioinformatics influencing stem cell projects?

chris — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 16:43:33 +0000

Perhaps you can tell us how, in your mind, bioinformatics is speeding up stem cells projects. Then we can go from there...

RDFs

cariaso — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 02:45:40 +0000

I came across this old thread, and thought I'd point out that these days SNPedia does have the sacred RDFs thanks to the semantic-mediawiki.org extension. Today the most obvious benefit is that the SNPedia:FAQ is able to maintain some live counts about the site. The RDFs aren't yet connected to any others, but one baby step at a time it looks a bit more semantic. It seems only a matter of time until it can leverage SPARQL and perhaps the Halo browser.

What, exactly, is the point of Elsevier?

Duncan — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 11:26:07 +0000

I've been waiting for this special issue on semantic biomedical mashups for a while now. The latest scheduled production date is September 2008, which makes it exactly one whole year from Call for papers to publication. Damn thats quick, faster than a speeding glacier! Those hot hot research results must be popping of the printing press at an alarming rate!

Which makes me wonder, what, exactly is the point of Elsevier? Why does it take them so long to publish? Some, in the Open-Access publishing community have suggested this kind of publishing is a slow and expensive way to assign copyright to information that should be in the public domain, while lining shareholders pockets. As a young scientist, I'm completey baffled as to why it should take this long to shuffle a few emails and Word documents around the internet in order to publish.

Anyway, enough of the griping. Every now and then, a pre-print pops up in the Journal of Biomedical informatics feed from PubMed. So while you're waiting for Elsevier, you can read one of the first papers in the special issue below.

Carole Goble and Robert Stevens (year unknown) State of the nation in data integration for bioinformatics, Journal of Biomedical Informatics, officially published sometime before the heat-death of the Universe (but don't hold your breath). DOI:10.1016/j.jbi.2008.01.008, pubmed.gov/18358788

BioBlogs 19: Bioengineering is here...

Duncan — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 10:18:49 +0000

So Bio::Blogs 19, the Bioengineering issue is out. Enjoy!

It's probably a bit late, but...

gpjt — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 12:35:32 +0000

Greg,

It looks like my colleague Jean missed your question - sorry for that!

Resolver One is now at version 1.0.1, and it's free for non-commercial use. For regular commercial use (online support in our forums, etc) it's $199 (reduced to $99 until the end of this month), and there is also a financial version with market data feeds, telephone support, SLAs, etc, on a rental model.

There's also a web server, which can serve up your spreadsheets as simple web applications - this is $699 (currently reduced to $499) per server machine, no client licenses required.

Regards,

Giles
