Factoids as mini-publications

What is CWA?
• A Forum: to unite stakeholders to share complex Life Science data in a new way, through triples.
• A Facilitator: to promote the development of triple content services and promote the development of triple professional services.
• A Facility: A “warehouse”, distributor and agent for triples on behalf of contributors and users. Develop our own services.

Start Small. Incremental Value.
One thing well.
Triples. Triples. Triples.
Jam today. More Jam Tomorrow.

Some initial ideas
• Focus on what we talk about
• Focus on factoids• Machine readable
for use in our applications
• Bottom-up standardization / certification
Where significant value is added…suggestions
…triples represent an economic value and can be charged for
• Curated triples: – charges at the discretion of the curator
• Inferred triples: – charges at the discretion of the inferrer
• Disambiguated triples: – charges at the discretion of disambiguator
• Redundancy-removed triples: – charges at the discretion of the redundancy remover
• Observed triples – can be charged for if they are taken from proprietary
sources – by or on behalf of the proprietors– peer-reviewed literature: charges at the discretion of
the rights-holder
Triple sales and Open Data/Open Access
• Single triples: – free and open, via web
search interface– revenue from advertising?
• Collections: – at the discretion of owners– e.g. free if used publicly on
web, with possibility of advertising revenue
– paid-for if used behind firewall
Participation on the journey…
• Organisation governs community driven creation of concept web
• Think about:– Is the CWA useful to you /
your organisation?– Would you subscribe?
• Why? / Why not?– How would you like to
participate? – Would you help us develop
the Alliance?• You rule!
