Less than a week left before the three ACS RDF 2010 sessions!\nI am both nervous and excited! We really got a great team of speakers together. As a final call for\npeople still not sure if they want to attend, I sent out a few emails. On Monday, we are competing with\nthe big JCIM 50th anniversary,\nbut really, that it’s 50 years of old cheminformatics, where our session is about the next 50 year.\nYour call ;) I was told the meetings are in two rooms along side, so you should be able to see a bit\nof both.
\n\nBesides the really interesting list of chemical domains covered in these talks (see below), this meeting,\nthough I have not advertised it as such, is really about Open Standards\nin cheminformatics. This is what I just wrote to the Blue Obelisk mailing list (:

\n\nwith this email I would like to ask your\nattention to the three Semantic Web\nsessions on Sunday morning, and Monday\nmorning and afternoon. During these\nsessions 15 presentations will be given\non how the Resource Description Framework\nis changing cheminformatics.
\n\nIt is of special interest to the Blue\nObelisk community that the family of RDF\ntechnologies (RDF, OWL, SPARQL) are all\nsuccessful Open Standards, building on\nolder and other Open Standards like HTTP,\nURI, XML (or JSON or Notation3 or\nTurtle), etc.
\n\nMoreover, these technologies are not\nrestricted to one particular domain, such\nas MDL/Symyx molfile, CML(XXX) are, as\nthis part is covered by the Web Ontology\nLanguage (OWL)… each ontology in itself\ncan be (and should ofcourse) be an Open\nStandard.
\n\nIn three sessions links to computational\nchemistry, knowledge management, and\ngeneral applications are demonstrated,\nwith wide variety of chemical disciplines\nas context, including toxicology,\nchemometrics, eScience, databases, wet\nlab experimentation, lipidomics, text\nmining, drug discovery and health care,\ngene-disease-pathway modeling, and\nchemical patents.
\n\nAll people interested in Open\nCheminformatics should have a special\ninterest in these three sessions, and I\nam very much looking forward to seeing\nyou all next Sunday and/or Monday!
