What is Neurocommons?
Excerpted from the project home page:
The NeuroCommons project seeks to make all
scientific research materials - research articles, annotations,
data, physical
materials - as available and as useable as they can be. We do this
by both fostering practices that render information in a form that promotes uniform
access by computational agents - sometimes called
"interoperability". We want knowledge sources to combine meaningfully,
enabling semantically precise queries that span multiple
information sources.
In a nutshell, a great project that makes practical use of
Linked Data Web technology in the areas of computational
biology and neuroscience.
What is Virtuoso and Neurocommons AMI for EC2?
A pre-installed and fully tuned edition of Virtuoso that
includes a fully configured Neurocommons Knowledgebase (in RDF
Linked Data form) on Amazon's EC2 Cloud
platform.
Benefits?
Generally, it provides a no-hassles mechanism for instantiating
personal-, organization-, or service-specific instances of a very
powerful research knowledgebase within approximately 1.15 hours
compared to a lengthy rebuild from RDF source data alternative that
takes 14 hours or more, depending on machine hardware configuration
and host operating system resources.
Features:
-
Neurocommons public instance functionality
replica (re. RDF and (X)HTML resource description representations
& SPARQL endpoint)
- Local URI de-referencing (so no contention with
public endpoint) as part of the RDF Linked Data Deployment
- Fully tuned Virtuoso instance for neurocommons
knowledgebase.
