NIF Webinar – March 29, 2011 / Topic: KEfED, Knowledge Engineering from Experimental Design

The Neuroscience Information Framework (NIF) hosts Webinar series on topics focused on collaborating with NIF, getting involved in building the NIF vocabulary, using NIF portal resources, as well as other appropriate NIF topics.

Hello everyone,

The next NIF Webinar is scheduled for Tuesday, March 29, 2011. Please join Dr. Gully Burns from University of Southern California as he describes KEfED, Knowledge Engineering from Experimental Design. The project describes an approach to building a Knowledge Representation for scientific observations. This approach is designed to provide a lightweight representation for scientific knowledge that is (a) generalizable, (b) a suitable target for text-mining approaches, (c) relatively semantically simple, and (d) is based on the way that scientist plan experiments and should therefore be intuitively understandable to non-computational bench scientists. The team has constructed a web-application as a preliminary instantiation of this approach to demonstrate its feasibility and to gather feedback from the community.
