Experimental protocols are key when planning, performing and publishing research in many
disciplines, especially in relation to the reporting of materials and methods. However, they …

The reuse of scientific knowledge obtained from one investigation in another investigation is
basic to the advance of science. Scientific investigations should therefore be recorded in …

Biomedical research data reuse and sharing is essential for fostering research progress. To
this aim, data producers need to master data management and reporting through standard …

Background Large-scale international projects are underway to generate collections of
knockout mouse mutants and subsequently to perform high throughput phenotype …

As part of the requirement analysis, challenges were defined for the formalization of
hypotheses. Yet, it seems that these requirements are insufficiently met in practice. With …

Background An experimental protocol is a sequence of tasks and operations executed to
perform experimental research in biological and biomedical areas, eg biology, genetics …

Motivated by the need for unification of the domain of data mining and the demand for
formalized representation of outcomes of data mining investigations, we address the task of …

This paper describes an integrated design, verification, and simulation environment for
programmable microfluidic devices called laboratories-on-chip (LoCs). Today's LoCs are …

Picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) provide limited flexibility for the
development of novel research methods. By contrast, the research model of data access is …

[Objective] This paper explores the research progress of the process-level semantic
representation of experimental protocols. It aims to discover the key issues to be addressed …
