DESCRIPTION
Biomedical data continues to grow at exponential rates and is beginning to surpass the rate of technological advancements (e.g., Moore’s Law). In addition to biomedical literature (as indexed by MEDLINE) and molecular sequence data (as available from the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration), recent legislation in the United States is also leading to increased amounts of electronic health record data.This presentation will provide an overview of the significant infrastructure available for organizing and navigating such types of biomedical data. The discussion will then shift to exploring the challenges that will likely be faced for the future of data management, with particular emphasis on development and use of knowledge representation formalisms (e.g., ontologies). The presentation will conclude with a summary of opportunities, both from a research as well as a pragmatic perspective, for the next generation of scientific data management.INDRA NEIL SARKAR, PHD.
