00:16 pdurbin sivoais: a little follow up http://indiewebcamp.com/irc/2013-06-29/line/1372550236
00:37 sivoais Awesome! I look forward to that convo. I'm by no means an expert on it, but I have seen some very useful applications of ontologies. They've really blossomed in the biomedical/biochemical area.
01:01 pdurbin sivoais: hmm. my wife works in biotech. any examples?
01:10 sivoais pdurbin: there are many here <http://www.obofoundry.org/>, <http://www.bioontology.org/> which are in turn used in applications like <http://gmod.org/wiki/Introduction_to_Chado>
01:14 sivoais also, older data sources such as the Protein Data Bank <http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/home/home.do> are augmented with the above ontologies so that searching for entities across databases is made easier
01:16 sivoais I'm in biomedical image processing, so I don't really get to work on this stuff (yet!).
02:07 pdurbin ah, flybase
02:13 pdurbin I've definitely heard of Protein Data Bank

13:40 pdurbin so I just read http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2013/06/30/we-retire-1-8-7/ and I was left wondering who "shyouhei" is
13:41 pdurbin I thought Matz was in charge of Ruby
13:41 * pdurbin looks at shyouhei (Urabe, Shyuohei) - https://github.com/shyouhei
13:42 pdurbin part of the Ruby core team according to http://www.rubyinside.com/two-security-vulnerabilities-force-3-new-releases-of-mri-ruby-1-8-7-1-9-1-and-1-9-2-4323.html
13:45 pdurbin huh. ISO/IEC 30170:2012 - Information technology -- Programming languages -- Ruby - http://www.iso.org/iso/iso_catalogue/catalogue_tc/catalogue_detail.htm?csnumber=59579
13:45 pdurbin I didn't realize Ruby was an ISO standard
13:45 pdurbin via http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_%28programming_language%29
13:45 pdurbin agoddard: you know a lot more about Ruby than I do
13:46 pdurbin I'm running the latest version of centos and it comes with ruby 1.8.7
13:47 pdurbin "your ruby 1.8.7 might or might not be supported by someone else, because there are some 3rd-parties that do continue supporting 1.8.7. The only thing I can say is I won’t support it any longer"
13:47 pdurbin it's nice that the retirement notice says that
13:49 pdurbin althought I'm not sure how much Red Hat really supports Ruby itself for their RHEL customers
13:50 pdurbin and besides, RHEL 7 will probably come out soonish
13:53 pdurbin huh. I don't even have Ruby installed on this Fedora 19 laptop. :) ... looks like it wants to pull down ruby 2.0.0
13:55 pdurbin but I'm sure that when I want Ruby (for Jekyll primarily) I'll simply install via RVM. I gave up on using the system Ruby long ago... especially when I need to install a gem
13:56 pdurbin on a client machine, that is. I use RVM on laptops. On servers I've only ever used the version of Ruby that is packaged (often by Red Hat or Puppet Labs)
