 So now we're going to move to what I consider to be the sort of the heart and soul of what INCF is and that's the volunteers who form these special interest groups at working groups that actually developed these Consensus base we always hope standards and best practices. So our first I should state jump back and say that we had some special interest group meetings that took place Wednesday at the same time as the hackathon and also the infrastructure workshop So we The next few speakers will tell us a little bit about their special interest group and also what they accomplished during their meeting This week. So our first speaker. Yeah, you know, Francois. Yeah There's a Francois Mohammed see and he's going to speak about his special interest group group Neuroshapes Thank you. So my name is Mohammed Francois see I worked for BBP adfl in Geneva, Switzerland so I'm going to Talked about a newly created ICF special interest group called Neuroshapes and work you through a little bit the goals of Neuroshapes and Yeah, what we had started to do during the last During Wednesday our first meeting. So what is a new shape? Norse efficient initiative to promote the usage of semantic markups as a way to describe datasets so we want to Promote we're gonna encourage people to publish dataset over the web. So they use semantic markups For example extending and reusing schema.org wants instead of creating a custom wants So a lot of initiative currently are doing that. I'm thinking of a bio schema for example So as much as possible review schema.org markups and when there is no Schema.org one create one for no science data type for example So this is one one thing second thing is promote the usage of the W3C Provo vocabulary as a way of capturing provenance So one important thing we try to do in Neuroshapes, but we hope to be able to do is Capturing provenance is not just a description task or a notation task It's Quite accepted that a lot of people are already doing that We hope to be able to reuse that description of the provenance as a way to provide ontological definition for data types We want to promote the usage of profiles and schemas as a way to enforce metadata Quality rather than having it on procedural codes in the project where I work BPP a lot of developers a Lot of people there put a lot of Check or a lot of constraint on on procedural code rather than putting it on artifacts that are easily shareable and discoverable and we want to really promote the usage of schema and in Neuroshape We picked W2C charcoal. That's why it shapes because in W2C charcoal We have schema called shapes So we pick it because it goes beyond Gison schema and it has very good properties in form of I mean It's it's very very expressive and some people they can express a lot of a lot of a lot of constraint Something we want to do as well or we start to do at BBP Is really to try to find Schema's for a lot of neuroscience specific entities like morphology reconstructed if his recordings Single cell models or circuit which are the neuroscience entity we worked with there But really try to find something that is called here mines, which is what are Can we come up with a profile or schema that will enable neuroscientists to publish or to describe their data using sort of normalized Normalized schema. So this is an ongoing effort that we we started it in in Neuroshape as well so What do we have currently? In Neuroshape, I mean if you visit the the GitHub repository You will find Schema's and profiles for various neuroscience data types that we care about mainly reconstructed cells which are Generated from the LNMC lab, which is a lab at APFL that Perform reconstructed that reconstruct cells from slice You would have wholesale patch clamp recordings as well schema to describe those data types as well as some profiles for describing brain atlas releases so here I'm just showing an example of What type of description we came up with in Neuroshape for example This is a probe description of reconstruct of if is recordings here as it is done at the LNMC lab So basically we have a bunch of we have the workflow here described using w2c probe So it's activities that use these entities and generated other ones And we were able to map the agents that were involved as well as the different protocols that were that were used Here we have the same type of pattern for morphological construction for example, and here we have the The way we represent or the way we describe at brain atlas releases within within BVP for example So currently these schemas we have you don't have many of them for now So these schemas are mainly used at BVP because we created them, but as well at HBP Mainly the HBP brain simulation platform. So we had a hackathon with them So that we were and we were able to produce some profiles for single cell model and for circuit for example and Connect the crumble center for neuroinformatics just started to look at Neuroshape and how they can they can adopt the approach And as well we had this collaboration because these three organization They kind of share the same that integration platform component, which is blue brain nexus as shown here so it was Very useful to at the same time we share the same data management component to share as well Some data models for some neuroscience data set So we had a meeting the first one Wednesday we had eight participants eight motivated participants Who really challenged the approach I would say Because I had the I would say I said that Gison LD is very developer friendly, but apparently a lot of people don't think like that But that's fine. I still think it's developer friendly So During that meeting we I presented the neuro shape goals And we looked at some possibilities of having shackle schema for an IDM data models Which already have RDF representation as ontologies, etc. So it was really straightforward I think Taylor here had written some some cool schemas for an IDM for her use case that connects and we looked at that so We identified that we need a pattern Shackle a validator to get more people involved as I think in the neuroscience community a lot of people are working with with Python currently the W3C shackle Validator we have only written in Java and Scala So this is something that we will gonna we will work on and Got useful discussions and feedback about the usage of semantic web in general within Science in neuroscience specifically. So it was really interesting So how to contribute? We have the Gita page. So I'm safe slash no shapes. We had a Gita for chat So we have the sick page in ICF and we love hackathons So that's how we got all the how we work usually within BBP with HBP and with other Other collaboration that we that we have so we call it bring your own data sessions So really contact us and we'll be happy to organize one right so That's it. Any burning comments questions feedback training piece to your sig Do you have a training piece? Like tutorials, you know, or is there any plan to develop that? Yes yes, currently It's not yet out, but somebody is working hard This week to put that out the beginning of next week. So we'll have a tutorials Basically tutorials on how to how to create these schemas Python tools as well that we're gonna put out definitely So if you're looking for a challenge, they're looking for more people so contact them if you want a challenge We've got a new participant today, so excellent So, thank you
