Demonstrations:

• 7:30-7:45 PM The NCBO BioPortal is a J2EE web application for accessing, visualizing, analyzing, uploading, and searching a large repository of biomedical ontologies, terminologies, and annotations. BioPortal 1.0 was released to production in 2007. BioPortal 2.0 is expected to be released in July 2008 - To be presented by BenjaminDai.

• 7:45-8:00 PM BMIR-CIM3's CODS - Collaborative Ontology Development Service & Infrastructure - features the BMIR Multiuser Protégé Server (with Collaborative Protégé support) hosted on a Tier-1 facility provided by CIM3.NET. Now in beta, it offers the collaborative development platform and a repository for distributed development support of open ontologies to the community at large - to be presented by Natasha Noy and Peter P. Yim

• 8:00-8:15 PM OwlSight is a lightweight web-based OWL Ontology viewer backed by

Pellet. I will be showing how to use the latest release of OwlSight (v.51) which includes support for GRDDL based ontology repositories - to be presented by MichaelGrove.

• 8:15-8:30 PM The Expoz™ tool is focused on knowledge capture and exposing relationships across a wide variety of information sources such as unstructured, semi-structured and structured information systems. It takes a clustering-based approach for facilitating the discovery of candidate mapping terms & reusable software patterns. The clusters also allow a context-oriented search across ontologies thus providing a quick "big picture" of the system. Mala Mehrotra will present these various modules in the tool.

• 8:30-9:00 PM Informal individual demos and networking.

• Add a description of your demonstration here. Please include the name(s) of the individuals who will be giving your demonstration.
