Second Presentation URLS to OPEN (and minimize): Michael Belanger, Cofounder, Jarg Corporation and its SemanTx Life Sciences div.

First Key take-away Point Bioinformatics and life sciences areas are ahead in implementation of semantic standards and technologies. The Federal Semantic Enterprise Implementation as well as other fields can now benefit from that ontology-based computing investment and experience.

Second Key take-away Point How many different terms from how many different fields can mean the same concept ?

Located at Childrens Hospital Boston

Just One Professional Field

The CMCH SemanTx ontology mediates the disparate vocabulary of 10 professional fields that media research is occurring in: medicine, psychology, education, anthropology, public health, communication, criminology, gender studies, social work sociology.

Third Key take-away Point Using the Semantic Knowledge Indexing Platform (SKIP) there is no limitation as to how many different terms, XML tags, Jargon or other metadata from different fields that can be expressed to mean the same concept

Currently a few thousand media-related research abstracts are being searched

The mechanisms that maintain the simple sequences present at the telomere within a discrete distribution is poorly understood. One such mechanisms, termed rapid deletion events (RPD) has been described in our laboratory to occur frequently in Saccha- Development of an Assay for Eukaryotic Telomeric Recombination assay From Both The Info Source and The Query Ontologys Query Expansion From Institutional Knowledge

Understands - as a Graph Why This Ranking!

Forth Key take-away Point Returns have been context-matched and then ordered by how well the meaning within sources matches the meaning expressed in your query The more context you articulate in your query, the more precision in your results Why is this better and different from other search architectures?

Addressing items 2 & 3 for today: Brand Niemann did try us and typed-in the SICoP challenge query into Jarg Corporations Semantic Life Sciences Divisions Semantic PubMed site: and saw relevant results. Essentially, you have come the closest to meeting the semantic query challenge we featured in the SICoP Module 1 White Paper!

From All Ontology-Parsed Object Types – SKIP Enables Effective Achievement of Both: Excellent Semantic Precision & Excellent Semantic Recall Due to fit-to-context Search Results Fifth Key take-away Points

Filtering Objects By Their Contents Meaning A Fresh, Scalable, High Performance Approach Sub-Ontology based semantic object-parsing –Enables capture of context for the extraction of understood features from within all forms of information to be semantically represented then indexed in SKIPs common semantic (fragment) format Semantically-rich (complex queries) express the context of your need –Return a collage of rich-media results –Each result prioritized by its contextual fit to a users expressed query
