Examples of GGA's Award-Winning Knowledge Management Solutions
Database of Somatic Mutations in Human Cancer
Challenge: Client requested GGA to create a database that presents in normalized, easy-to-analyze uniform table format the diverse published information regarding somatic mutations in human cancers.
Solution: GGA’s software team designed and developed the database management system for the product, and GGA’s knowledge management team manually curated the relevant full-text papers that were selected from the 15 top-ranking life science and cancer journals using a specific search algorithm. The curators converted the heterogeneous information in the papers into a uniform, quantitative, table-like format.
Challenge: Client requested GGA to develop a customized ontology to specify a disease area.
Solution: GGA’s knowledge management team developed classes for the disease area, including subjects, substances, genes, effects, functions, treatments, side effects, diseases, and tissues. GGA identified relevant classes for each identified entity and defined the relevant relationships between the classes. GGA’s software team developed annotation rules and developed and implemented software tools supporting manual annotation. GGA annotated over 1,000 articles to substantiate the framework and created a prototype to execute relationship-based queries.
Challenge: The client required the development of a web-based and desktop information system for glass research and development.
Solution: GGA developed a glass materials database product that has become the world standard for glass information. This development effort involved GGA's software engineers, algorithm developers, and content developers in a joint effort to create the database system, implement and refine glass property algorithms, and analyze the technical literature and extract appropriate information for inclusion in the database.
