Presentation Friday

• Talk went well
• Was expecting more feedback
• Kostavas asked on MOLGENIS

Plan BBMRI

Theme 1: fill the database

First goal: get LifeLines features included in BBMRI biobank.

• get BBMRI catalog running
• import the Excel

In the generation of the bbmri.generate : 
The bbmri_ui.xml contained  a form 

<form name="Biobanks" sortby="Name" view="list" entity="Biobank" hide_fields="Investigation,__Type,observationTargetType,individuals">

which produced error at the hide fields. I removed them , and the database was created correctly . I'm guessing something was missing and it wasn't  working. Any ideas?

In import : error for '''keys are missing: OntologyTerm.[ontology_name, term]'''

• biobank is a kind of panel
• Lifelines is one of the biobanks
• Get from Joris is a Excel export

Next goal: import more biobank information which we get from our BBMRI-EU colleagues

Theme 2: start with 'semantic molgenis'

First goal: link MOLGENIS to external ontology

• first enhance N3 file with external mapping
• then test if we use that ontology in SPARQL query
• if works: then update the MOLGENIS model + generator

Next step: investigate ontologies that should be linked

• how about biobankers list of Marco Roos?
• disease ontology?
• material ontology?

Actions

• Have Kostavas visit?
• Connect to Pedro to investigate his 'semantic molgenis' work?
• Connect to BBMRI-EU to request more data?
