The main tasks within this week are reading papers and looking for case studies. I looked through some cases of environmental health studies and documented the environmental data used. Most of the studies in the last five years have documented their data sources very clearly and most of the data Continue reading Week 3: New/Emerging Communities- Case studies
After a time difference mix-up on my part, I missed our weekly check-in meeting so I was unable to finish all of the tests as I had hoped to. I think, though, that I only have 2-3 more tests maximum before I can begin to summarize the data. The final Continue reading Week Six: Test Summaries
For this week, I spent time on using XSB interactively to debug some conundrum in recursive queries which are applied in LCA, figured out the answer trying to get first by observing intermediate outputs & final outputs, also classified inputs such that they have the same lineage. Another bug occurred in SQLite and Continue reading Week 6 : Reproducibility of Script-Based Workflows projec
I started with evaluating the ontology matching algorithm last week. There are 830 source ontologies and 10 target ontologies in our dataset. I began by matching each source ontology with all of the target ontologies. However, this process was very time consuming and the algorithm took nearly 5 hours to Continue reading Week 6: More efforts on evaluation
During this week, I focused on completing the full version of the project paper. In particular, since I had already drafted the “Introduction” and the “Background/Rationale” sections of the paper during Week 2 and my mentors and I had discussed and recorded key notes consistently throughout the project, I Continue reading Week 7: Evaluate Instrument for Education – Paper/Poster Preparation
This week’s output inlcude: A white paper draft that 1) introduces environmental health background 2) defines environmental health and its research community; 3) presents convincing cases that demonstrates how environmental data can inform human health research. Contacted members in DataONE, asking for a list of people that could be our Continue reading Week2 Emerging Communities
Last week, I received a few further MN to act as control groups in our study. These MN had at least 3 months of data prior to joining DataONE. I ran regressions on them and will compare them to our study group this coming week. I also changed from a Continue reading Week Five: Addition of a Control Group
My plan for this week was to implement algorithms for matching abbreviations to their full forms and identifying units. However, even before using the algorithms, it is important to evaluate the performance of the existing algorithms so that we can obtain a baseline that will help us to decide whether Continue reading Week 5: Evaluation of ontology matching algorithm
This past week was spent exclusively on solving some issues related to missing facts due to the mismatch between the annotation in view rules and in script. Additionally, I focused on adding the missing outputs and changing some block names in YW workflow for LIGO. After modifying rules in represent facts, the main task was to work on Continue reading Week 5: Reproducibility of Script-Based Workflows
Last week I began to work on literature review of environmental health and synthesis centers. The goals are to 1) draft the outline for the lit review and begin filling in some introductory text, and 2) Identify key readings and develop an annotated bibliography around this. The output of this week include: Continue reading Week 1 Emerging Communities
