1. Pedro: Combining Rapid Data Modelling and Ontology Services by Kevin Garwood E-Science North West Centre Manchester University

2. What it Does… renders data entry forms given an XML Schema people use the forms to create data files that conform to the data model users can mark up text fields with controlled vocabulary terms supplied by ontology services

3. Project History originally developed to suit the needs of COGEME, a proteomics consortium supported by COGEME and Manchester University’s ESNW Centre, later by the EBI first release almost immediately spilled into other domains such as genomics, security, distributed computing…. COGEME used the tool to successfully promote a data model standard now tool is being used for data entry

4. Pedro Modelling Process

5. Validating Files against the Model Q: “Could this data file been made using this model?”

6. Ontology Service = Source + Viewer

7. Provenance: Remembering where Terms Came From

8. Ontology Context: Providing More Relevant Terms
