Interoperability In the Labyrinth
Abstract/Agenda:
Lumped together, the numerous and varied obstacles to interoperability form a monster that—akin to the Minotaur of Greek myth—devours scientists and engineers who enter its labyrinth. This panel will illuminate the beast by featuring speakers who have traversed its maze, avoiding dead-ends, contriving helpful constructs, and laying threads to enable exit. The stories will include tests of skill and cunning, where tools must be applied to distant, seemingly incompatible data types, and where dissimilar samplings must be remapped or transformed to enable new syntheses and integrations. At the heart of the creature are the challenges of using data in ways not foreseen. Panelists also will be asked to comment on interoperability across scales, certainly one of the Minotaur’s most impenetrable armaments. While encouraging them to address novel problems and/or solutions, panelists are being sought who (collectively) have expertise that covers the following topics, each of which represents a distinct form of obstacle to interoperability:
- Mismatched Domains
- Mismatched Ranges
- Effects of (Analytic) Transformation
- Mismatched Concepts
- Mismatched Structures/Encodings
- Problems Arising in Software
