Taverna in e-Lico  e-Lico is an EU Project ( ) to create a virtual laboratory for data mining and data-intensive sciences  Main partners: –University of Geneva – project coordination –University of Manchester – Taverna and text mining –Institut National de la Santé et de la Recherche Médicale (Toulouse) – biological data –Greece – image mining –Rapid I – Rapid Miner/Analytics –University of Zurich – planner

Who in Manchester  Robert Stevens  Simon Jupp  Rishi Ramgolam  James Eales  Alan Williams

What has been done so far?  Populous – adaption of RightField. Used for data entry and ontology creation.  Taverna plugin to expose Rapid Miner operators as Taverna services  Taverna extension to create data mining plans that are translated into workflows  Rapid Analytics repository browser to allow choosing and uploading of data, so getting metadata  Skinning of myExperiment – done by Don Cruickshank

What will be done - 1?  Saving of provenance and data and workflow – call it a run.  Uploading the run to e-Lico’s myExperiment  Ensuring semantics so that the data is known to be the inputs to port “fred” of the workflow. Even better, provenance item X is for invocation 237 of service Y in run 93 of workflow…

What will be done – 2?  Re-opening of a run from myExperiment  Integration of provenance from RapidMiner’s operator with the workflow provenance  Tweaking of the Rapid Miner and planning extensions  Additional/improved renderers – desire for Cytoscape  SPARQL service plugin  Development and documentation of workflow patterns

What will be done – 3?  Coping with “dominating operators”  Training workshops  Benchmarking and documentation of results

What will go back into Taverna  Plugin to expose Rapid Miner services  Plugin to allow planning of data mining  SPARQL service  Workflow run upload/browse/reload  Repository browser possibly as additional data source  New renderers

What is e-Lico doing that is affected by other projects  The saving of a workflow run depends upon –myExperiment having semantic pack capabilities –Some stronger mechanism to specify relationships (wf4ever?)  Browsing/view of workflow run may leverage –Polish MSc student’s work  Integration of provenance –Overlap with eScience Central

What is e-Lico doing that affects other projects  e-Lico workflow run may be a good test case for wf4ever  Renderers –Do not know specific projects – should start list  Data gathering mechanism –Ditto  Populous –Highly related to RightField –What about TavernaLC (Taverna in a spreadsheet)?  SPARQL service –Harmonization/relationship with SADI

How could eLico be of use  Data mining services –Use in data-oriented projects e.g. MethodBox or SysMO?  Metadata about data –MethodBox or SysMO?  Planning of workflows –Does it work in practice?
