Bolzano Research Visit
Before going to ISWC2014, I am taking a quick trip to visit Werner Nutt at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano. Werner was my PhD supervisor where we developed techniques for integrating distributed data streams (Gray, 2007). The work was inspired by the problem of monitoring the resources on a computational Grid (Cooke, Gray and Nutt, 2005; Cooke et al., 2004; Cooke et al., 2003; Gray, Nutt and Williams, 2007). We will be exploring our common interests in stream processing, data integration and incompleteness.
EUON Talk on Dataset Descriptions
Tomorrow I will be talking at the 1st European Ontology Network meeting (EUON) about the work I have been doing in the W3C Health Care and Life Sciences (HCLS) Interest Group on creating a community profile for describing datasets.
The work on the HCLS Dataset Description Community Profile has been ongoing for two years now and is just about to reach fruition. Please do read the latest Editors Draft and provide feedback.
Medical Informatics Europe Conference
Kerstin presenting at MIE 2014
The MIE conference is in full swing this week in Istanbul I thought it time to share our paper on mapping medical terminologies (Hussain et al., 2014).
The paper was collaborative effort combining input from EU IMI funded projects EHR4CR, SALUS and Open PHACTS as well as the W3C Health Care and Life Sciences Interest Group (HCLS).
SensorBench SICSA Presentation
SensorBench (Galpin et al., 2014) is a benchmark suite for wireless sensor networks. The design of wireless sensor network systems sits within a multi-dimensional design space, where it can be difficult to understand the implications of specific decisions and to identify optimal solutions. SensorBench enables the systematic analysis and comparison of different techniques and platforms, enabling both development and user communities to make well informed choices. The benchmark identifies key variables and performance metrics, and specifies experiments that explore how different types of task perform under different metrics for the controlled variables. The benchmark is demonstrated by its application on representative platforms.

Administrative Data Research Network Introduction
The Administrative Data Research Network (ARDN) is a collaboration of four research centres (one for each of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales) that will make administrative data available for analysis by researchers.
The following video gives an overview of the project.
First FAIRport-Elixir BYOD Workshop
At the end of June, a group of individuals from across Europe came together in Leiden for the first FAIRport–ELIXIR Bring Your Own Data (BYOD) workshop. None of us quite knew what would happen but we were all excited that such an event was taking place. The result was better than we expected.
Data Science meets Linked Data
What are the research and technical challenges of linked data that are relevant to data science?
SensorBench SSDBM Paper
The SensorBench paper (Galpin et al., 2014) will be presented this week at the 26th International Conference on Scientific and Statistical Database Management (SSDBM).
Sensors and Big Data for Health and Well-being
Slides from my talk at the Third SICSA Technology for Health and Well-being (THAW).
Brighton Seminar
I recently gave a seminar on my work in the Open PHACTS project in the seminar series of the School of Computing, Engineering and Mathematics, University of Brighton.
I had a lovely trip and enjoyed wondering around the city. There was also the chance to have discussions on various aspects of the work and common ground.
Slides and the abstract for the talk are available below.
