COPO kick-off meeting September 16, 2014 Norwich, UK
eTRIKS – EUTranslational Information and Knowledge management Services Consortium of academic (Imperial College, CNRS, Un of Luxemburg) and pharmas (Janssen, Merck, AZ, Lilly, Lundbeck, Pfizer, Roche, Sanofi, Bayer, GSK) building a sustainable, open translational research informatics platform
• Nature Publishing Group‘s Scientific Data • BioMedCentral and BGI‘s GigaScience • F1000 Research • Oxford University Press
Ontology and sematic web knowledge representations Ontology for Biomedical Investigation (OBI) for the description of the experimental steps
Statistical ontology (STATO) for the description of statistical results
Applying the linked data and the nanopublication approaches to ISA-Tab
WG in involving PloS, NPG, BMC, BMJ, OUP, etc.
Centre for Extended Data Annotation and Retrieval (pending notification of award) Centre will explore a variety of technique to ease the work of creating and using standards-driven templates for describing and reporting biomedical datasets
A community-driven platform for plant science Coordinated by TGAC and in collaboration with EMBL-European Bioinformatics Institute and Warwick University, COPO will provide platform- and software-as-a-service

Experimental Metadata
It is all about structuring experimental information to make it available to computers and software agents to enable:
! provenance tracking
assessment and evaluation accountability, reliability, trust, evidence
conservation, preservation, storage, archiving and mining

investigationhigh level concept to link related studies
studythe central unit, containing information on the subject under study, its characteristics and any treatments applied.a study has associated assays
assaytest performed either on material taken from the sub-ject or on the whole initial subject, which produce quali-tative or quantitative meas-urements (data)

The community
26
A growing ecosystem of over 30 public and internal resources using the ISA metadata tracking framework (ISA-Tab and/or tools) to facilitate standards-compliant collection, curation, management and reuse of investigations in an increasingly diverse set of life science domains, including: !
• stem cell discovery • system biology • transcriptomics • toxicogenomics • also by communities working to build a library of cellular
signatures
!• environmental health • environmental genomics • metabolomics • metagenomics • nanotechnology • proteomics
