| Abstract |
Open PHACTS is a recently begun European Project with 22 partners - 8 of
which are major pharmaceutical companies. The VU is a one the main
technical partners. In this talk, I'll give an overview of the project
and outline the series of difficult issues in terms of semantic data
integration, provenance, data citation and large scale distributed data
management that the project faces.
I will try to call out the various pieces of technology we have the VU
that need to go from good research to (roughly) working pieces as well
as give an impression of the overall architectural approach. Finally, I
will attempt to give a demo of our current progress.
