The 2011 DAS Workshop will be held on 2-4 Marchl at the EBI Hinxton campus.


DAS Workshop 2011 Schedule

The first 2 days will be held in the EBI training room. 3rd day room to be announced.

Day 1

Some knowledge/experience of PERL or Java and or Javascript would be beneficial for the hands on training day.

Example DAS commands can be found here as a DAS quick reference guide: DAS examples

19:00 Dinner at Browns directions from Travel lodge The Private Dining Room 7.00 pm for 7.30 pm sit down. There is a large bus for this journey at 17.30 and so we encourage campus people who would normally use the campus bus to take the workshop bus. Browns is approx 25 minute walk from the travel lodge we are currently suggesting a pub stop at The Snug on the way. People will be responsible for getting back to their hotel or home after the restaurant.

Day 3

Location is the Floating room in the Morgan Building at the Sanger institute.

As per other days -Departure from the Travelodge Cambridge Leisure Park at 08:45 hrs to Campus.

Start at 10am

Departure 16:00 hrs form campus to Travellodge in order for people to get planes and trains etc back home.

Finish at 4pm.

Suggested Topics:

Discussion about fitting alternative data formats into the DAS ecosystem (TAD)

See proposal from 2010 workshop.

Also Binary data support in Dalliance.

Security - authorization and authentication for clients, servers, registry (GS, AJ, JW)

Genome alignments in DAS (TAD)

Some background.

Briefly: there's a pretty good alignment data model, but the query syntax currently has a few issues which limit its use for genomic alignments. Most significantly, there's not a good way to fetch a subset of the alignment based on sequence coordinates (e.g. "give me all alignment blocks overlapping the segment 22:30000000,30100000 from human NCBI36").

Improving interactivity of DAS data (TAD)

Can we extend DAS to give better support for more interactive client navigation? Things like next/previous feature buttons.

Customized html labels/pop ups? (JW)

Dasobert 2

Improvements, Schema Driven? (JW, RJ))

Pagination in features response

For search functionality (or in general?) (GS, AJ, RJ, JW, LG)

Philosophy of validation, spec compliance - client vs server expectations

Should the DAS registry say list all sources and just give information on their validity rather than archiving sources. Should clients do all they can to accommodate poor data sources or should they link to validation data and encourage correct data source compliance?(JW)

Also: how aggressively should the registry check for and prune dead datasources? Should there be some expectation of "maximum reasonable response time" for a DAS request? (TAD)
