1. We want to organize all the known facts in neurobiology so we can mash them up.
2. There are no “facts” in neurobiology, except uninteresting ones.
3. All we have, are
assertions supported by evidence, of varying quality.

We scientists do not attend professional meetings to present our findings ex cathedra, but in order to argue.
John Polanyi, FRS, Nobel Laureate University of Manchester
Social Web (Web 2.0, read/write)
Shared annotation with controlled terminology systems (Sem Web)
+
Information sharing within communities or tasks via Social Web (Web 2.0), wikis and forums
Information “permeability” across pharma R&D projects / domains / pipeline stages via shared metadata (semantic annotation)
Web 3.0 improves cross-‐domain Signal to Noise, institutional memory & data “findability”
Genes
Proteins
Biological Processes
Chemical Compounds
Antibodies
Cells
Brain anatomy
…
Annotation Ontology (AO) is a domain-‐independent Web ontology. Links document fragments to ontology terms.
Metadata separate from annotated documents. SWAN AF manages document annotation.
Interfaces to textmining svcs & supports curation. Collaborating with
NCBO, UCSD, Elsevier, USC, Manchester, EMBL, Colorado, EBI, etc…

Semantics on documents (SESL) Vocabulary standards & terminology development
Document & data management Collaboratories & web communities Hypothesis management (SWAN) Nanopublications (OpenPHACTS)
Model the thinking behind your research Database it, web-ify it, RDF-ize it, share it Link the Models / Hypotheses to
Claims / Interpretations Evidence (publications, experiments, data) Supporting and contradictory claims from others Evidence for these other claims
Web 3.0: share, compare and discuss Manage knowledge while creating it
Can be public, private, or semi-private

The target hypothesis will be linked to: Pathway & target relation to disease, Target selection criteria, Validation assays and criteria, Experiment (assay) provenance, Experimental data and computations, Scientist remarks, findings and discussion.
Start as a relatively simple model and extend
Hypotheses of therapeutic action for compounds and scaffolds, linked to
Hypothesis / results for individual assays, Experiment (assay) provenance, Experimental data, Group annotation, Internal databases etc. Start as a relatively simple model and extend
Information ecosystem
Curing complex medical disorders goes hand in hand with next-‐gen biomedical communications
Web 3.0 provides the technology framework Semantic annotation, hypothesis management, nanopubs: tools for next-‐gen biomed comms .
Requires / enables international collaborations of biomedical researchers and informaticians.
Open enterprise model with semantic metadata.
