Wheat Data Interoperability. Wheat Data Interoperability. Endorsed in March 2014 Focus: Improve/reach semantic interoperability of Wheat data
E N D
Wheat Data Interoperability • Endorsed in March 2014 • Focus: • Improve/reach semantic interoperability of Wheat data • The WG will focus first on the following data types: Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs), Genomic annotations, Phenotypes, Genetic Maps, Physical Maps, Germplasm, expression data.
Achieving semantic interoperability • « The ability of computers systems to exchange data with unambiguous, shared meaning .» (Wikipedia) • Make everyone speak the same language (common data formats and vocabularies) • Based on the Wheat research community practices • Leverage existing data formats and vocabularies • Translation mecanisms • Leverage existing translations rules • Promote RDF as common information representation format
Why RDF • RDF is self describing • RDF iseasy to mapfromother data representations • RDF captures information, not syntax • Multiple data models and vocabulariescanbeeasilycombined and interrelated • RDF enablessmarter data use and automated data translation Quoted from « Why RDF as a Universal Helathcare Exchange Language » by David Booth, Ph.D., Hawaï Resource Group: http://dbooth.org/2014/why-rdf

Possible interactions with other WGs • Biosharingregistriesworking group • Register the Wheat Data Interoperability WG outputs: guidelines, standards • Data types registriesworking group • Register the definitions for each data format used within/by the Wheat research community plus, where useful, references to tools that can operate on them. • Metadata interest group • Specific advices: • what requirementsshouldweconsiderwhenthinking of a minimal metadata set in general? • what standard could we base on to build a specific minimal metadata set (for example to contextualize the provenance of SNPs files)?
