I spent some of today reading and looking at the new Mendeley (admittedly, I should focus less on the system and more on the papers themselves). The best paper I’ve read so far on workflows as still been from The Fourth Paradigm: Data-Intensive Scientific Discovery, which is available for download Continue reading Some Interesting Graphs
Currently, I’m just going through a spreadsheet I have with several workflows in it, filling in all of the details for the classifications I am looking for. So far I’ve done a few, and more background reading on what it is exactly that I should be looking for. Talk soon. Continue reading Monday: Overview
I found a document in my DataONE folder with a list of around thirty or so articles that I had not download; I have got them now. Among them was an article mentioned in the Groth paper that we read for last week,ย Analyzing the Gap Between Workflows and their Descriptions. Continue reading Sunday: Readings
I’ve decided that the act of writing these things at the end of the day is actually a bit of a put-off, for me. It seems like an extra task, on top of what I am doing, just remembering what I am doing. So, hopefully, from now on I will Continue reading Sunday: Mendeley, Workflow Classification
So, it’s been a week. I have been doing work, but haven’t updated here, for personal reasons beyond my control. What I have done: Downloaded the most popular Taverna 1, Taverna 2, and RapidMiner workflows off of myExperiment. Around 12 of each. I didn’t download Kepler ones, as they are Continue reading June 9: Update, Meetings, Mailing Lists
Here is the abstract I submitted to the OKF Conference in Berlin at the end of June/beginning of July. Hopefully, it’ll be accepted (it looks likely, at least because I’ve been talking to the linguists there about giving a talk at their workshop, as well, and they know that I Continue reading Abstract for Open Knowledge Foundation Conference
The past two days have seen a fair amount of normal life cutting into my work time, which is why I haven’t posted. What I did manage to do is get an abstract ready for the Open Knowledge Foundation Conference, which I hope to send off in the next couple Continue reading June 2: Research
I took a look at the SPARQL interface for the open myExperiment stats today. It’s going to take a bit more time to fully understand, but I’m hoping that i’ll end up being able to mine myExperiment more fluidly, without going to each of the several thousand workflows. I then Continue reading May 31: Maven
Today I read a bit out of the Workflows for E-Science book I found in the library (one of the only books around on workflows, at all.) I managed to somehow delete the contents of my DataONE folder on my computer, but that’s not an issue because I had everything Continue reading May 30: Pegasus.
Let’s talk about how we’re doing this work. Once a week or more, I talk by Skype to the mentors, the other people on the project. Sometimes they’re not all there, but generally the calls last around an hour. We plan out the schedule for the next week, assess where Continue reading Methods
