Working Groups/Science/Disease Localiser

Cancer geolocalization
Could we have a geographical map about different kinds of cancer (neoplasma, carcinoma distributions) for patients to see openly where similar cases were treated and where these experts are located? Could we expand EpiSpider with an agent for cancer?

Key Ideas
Open Access by patients who give their own information Accesible by Mobile app for example by http://www.healthnet.org/ Would be useful to have for people with phones but not computers, to use.

Tools we could use for visualization
Spark tool for google maps visualization

Example of similar existing applications
http://healthnet.org/ as a way for gathering accurate data. http://healthmap.org from promedmail.org is a narrow example, non semantic. EpiSpider is a semantic application based on geographical infectious diseases. It does not include cancer. Collaborative science framework Harvard Medical School: http://sciencecollaboration.org/ Daylife API for mashups. Promed: http://www.promedmail.org/ It does not include academic articles, only news. Only infectious diseases.

Tools for getting RDF data
D2R server. Relational DB to RDF. Also any23.org or Triplify. http://linkdata.jp/ To transform plain data (tables or excel) to RDF. Used for homogeneizing different scientific DBs. Tool for creating Linked Data from a SPARQL End point: http://www4.wiwiss.fu-berlin.de/pubby/ Linked data databases for diseases: Diseasome, LinkedCT Clinical trials.

Examples of Databases
Example of DB for Cancer Somatic mutations: TP53/IARC LOGVD SPARQL end point. NCIT namespace (National Cancer Institute). http://bioinformatics.istge.it/logvdsparql/ 24772 individuals available with their nationality, age and smoking habbits.

Catalogue Of Somatic Mutations In Cancer, COSMIC:

Issues
Privacy of people versus the interest to socialize and find common results
