May 15: Anthony Leotta, SpecL, Information Modeling from the Top Down
SYNOPSIS:
SpecL is a new declarative information modeling system developed at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) to create large complex software projects. The next generation sequencing LIMS for the CSHL Woodbury Genome Center was just completed using SpecL at its core. Traditional modeling techniques rooted in relational theory are simply not appropriate for capturing the full story of cancer research as it is emerges from laboratories across the United States and the globe. The coordination of new ideas, new processes, new workflows, new technologies, new experimental protocols, experimental designs, specific aims, intermediate results, partial results, negative results, and final published positive results require a rethink of how data and information are modeled. Data complexity, volume and size have further exacerbated the disconnect between what current methods can deliver and what is actually needed to get the job done. SpecL was designed to capture rich data models that cross cut many concerns including access, compliance, presentation, storage, and behavior. Session details...
