OpenTox InterAction Meeting
Knowledge Café Program
Organised in Collaboration with ToxBank
30 September - 2 October 2013
Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz, Mainz, Germany
During the Knowledge Café groups will engage in a number of discussions.
Participants will rotate between topics to join different topics of interest to them.
A. Data Management, moderated by Nina Jeliazkova (Ideaconsult Ltd)
- How can we advance better data management practices?
- How do we progress access to data?
- How can we improve quality evaluation of data?
- What are achievable next steps to increase public data resource interoperability?
- What are requirements for integrating confidential and public data?
B. Open Standards, moderated by Egon Willighagen (Maastricht University)
- What are opportunities for collaboration between different Open Standards?
- What are key requirements for semantic interoperability?
- Can we identify concrete actions to advance interoperability in and between projects?
- How do we advance greater adoption of open standards for public resources?
- How do we advance greater adoption of open standards by commercial providers?
C. Visualisation and Analysis, moderated by Andreas Karwath (Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz)
- What are the key visualisation requirements in predictive toxicology use cases?
- What gaps need to be filled?
- How can open standards be used to advance visualisation and analysis applications?
- How interactive should visualization be for the end-user?
- What platforms should visualization be available on (web based, stand-alone)?
- How can we better integrate data resources with visualisation and analysis applications?
- How can we better integrate algorithm resources with visualisation applications?
