Technical Overview
Biomedical
Knowledge Repository
The goal of this project proposed by the National Library of Medicine
at the NIH is
Creation of a repository of executable biomedical knowledge drawn
from databases and the scientific literature. A format compatible
with recommendation which involves concept-based-concept-triples
is being explored. A goal is to enable investigators to query heterogeneous
resources seamlessly.

strategic principles for developing KEBRs as a general model of
coordinating informatics frameworks"
Meeting Background: Knowledge environments
are essential to integrated resources combining informatics tools
and data sources. These knowledge environments are defined by the
explicit understandings of concepts related to the data upon which
they compute. Key data-related concepts include: What the data represent,
how one type of data relates to another, how these terms and relationships
are defined in the real-world, and how those definitions are related
to each other. Controlled vocabularies, specified ontologies, and
explicitly defined data models are components of knowledge environments
that help mediate among data-related concepts. A community-wide
knowledge environment will bring to bear the full power of sophisticated
computational approaches on the full range of research questions
posed by that community.The goal of the KEBR conference was elucidate
strategies to develop, sustain, and enhance knowledge environments
for biomedical research.
Science.gov
Science.gov is a search engine for government science information
and research results. Currently in its fourth generation, Science.gov
provides search of more than 50 million pages of science information
with just one query, and is a gateway to over 1,800 scientific Web
sites. (science.gov Fact

IATR provides information on listed tools to the Neuroscience Information
Framework via automatic XML feeds. For more information, please

W3C Semantic
Web Health Care and Life Sciences Interest Group (HCLSIG)
The HCLSIG is focused on the use of Semantic Web technologies to
better enable interoperability and improve collaboration, research
and development, innovation adoption, and data reusability in the
health Care and life science domains.
Neurocommons
Technical Overview
From the Neurocommons website: Our long term goal is to provide
resources that form, under different scenarios, a seed, backbone,
or prototype for community efforts to annotate scientific literature
and link independent data resources in a way that promotes advanced
search and computational analytic methods. The semantic web is the
best available solution for the kind of cooperation, interoperation,
and aggregation that are necessary in order to remove data- and
knowledge-related friction points in scientific investigations.
