Notice to Tutorial Participants:
In the tutorial, you will download and use an existing virtual machine (VM) that has been setup with an RDF store and other tools you will need. Before the tutorial, please install the Virtual Box software on your laptop. Virtual Box can be installed on Windows, Mac, or Linux laptops. To install Virtual Box, please follow the instructions at:
The tutorial will feature three parts:
- In part 1, you will be introduced to Semantic Web technologies, including RDF, RDFS, OWL, and SPARQL. You'll also learn how to issue basic SPARQL queries from JavaScript.
- In part 2, you will learn about Linked Data--Semantic Web data on the Web. This section will cover crawling and querying Linked Data, and then will take a look at health-related linked data such as DrugBank, DailyMed, SIDER, Diseasome, DBpedia, poss. LinkedCT, and PubMed. You'll also look at mashing up linked data with personal health records and talk about some use cases and demo applications.
- In part 3, you will build on what you've learned to accomplish these tasks:
- Convert a MAGE-TAB file from ArrayExpress to linked data and publish it using LODspeakr
- Add a summary graph to the experiment page to display the distribution of biospecimens by characteristic
- Load the data into GenePattern and extract differentially expressed genes
- Convert the gene list to RDF data cube and load into the triple store
- Create a heatmap from the gene list
