Notes from May 18 meeting
Taken by: Kaitlin

Attendees: Alan, Elizabeth, Sudeshna, Paolo, Jonathan

Agenda:

I. Pick use case as an example for the discussion

Use case 1 - Antibody resources II. Go through the use case (identify tasks / timeline / goals / mgmt)
 * Alzforum antibody database
 * exactantigen?
 * others ...

Use case - browsing statements, isolate a statement, want to duplicate. III. Tasks
 * 1) annotation in order to find the antibody in order to get (catalog), ship to lab.
 * 2) may be some overlap but not all experiments in alzforum (1500 statements currently) cite antibodies.
 * 3) common URI - state that i'm using a certain antibody
 * 4) look for antibodies that satisfy certain characteristics for queries.
 * 5) example - HD people interested in positional information. using diff constructs and fragments of huntingtin in their experiments. visualize epitope in the protein.
 * 6) (implicit) clone exantantigen
 * 7) look for information about a certain antibody
 * 8) evaluate availability of antibody
 * 9) gather comments about antibody
 * 10) input list of gene or protein IDs - output list of "validated" antibodies

Timeframe: 18 - 25 May, to be discussed / checked in on in 22 May meeting (Friday) IV. For next meeting, possible agenda items:
 * review desparatelyseekingantibodies (alzforum) - look at comments (AR)
 * ask if there are logs of queries against alzforum
 * if not, should put in alzforum logs
 * write up and circulate to get feedback from SC and SCF
 * identify 10 people from community to get feedback from
 * AlanR and JAR to talk with potential hire about position.
 * review hiring options and follow up discussions, going back over review for desparatelyseekingantibodies and AlzForum search logs, start on another use case, interoperability discussion
