The Neighborhood Auditing Tool for the UMLS and its Source Terminologies is a presentation mentioned here several days ago.
If you missed it, go to: http://bioontology.org/neighborhood-audiiting-tool for the slides and WEBEX recording.
Pay close attention to:
The clear emphasis on getting user feedback during the design of the auditing interface.
The “neighborhood” concept he introduces has direct application to XML editing.
Find the “right” way to present parent/child/sibling controls to users and you would have a killer XML application.
Questions:
- Slides 8 – 9. Other than saying this is an error (true enough), on what basis is that judgment made?
- Slides 18 – 20. Read the references (slide 20) on neighborhoods. Pick another domain, what aspects of neighborhoods are relevant? (3-5 pages, with citations)
- Slides 21 – 22. How do your neighborhood graphs compare to those here?
- Slides 23 – 46. Short summary of the features of NAT and no citation evaluation. Or, use NAT as basis for development of interface for another domain. (project)
- Slides 49 – 55. Visualizations for use and checking. Compare to current literature on visualization of vocabularies/ontologies. (project)
- Slides 56 – 58. Snomed browsing. Report on current status. (3-5 pages, citations)
- Slices 57 – 73. Work on neighborhoods and extents. To what extent is a “small intersection type” a sub-graph and research on sub-graphs applicable? Any number of issues and questions can be gleaned from this section. (project)
