Variants: How to relate variants, and collect requirements for the level of specificity needed in descriptions of variants to meet the needs of AD researchers. (This is one of several pending issues unresolved in the Neurocommons [http://neurocommons.org/page/Semantic_resources_project Semantic Resources)

Case Study: Perform a detailed review of one class of proteins important to AD research, chosen to be part of the research agenda of at least one of the AD scientists, to bring all participants up to the same level of understanding about what's known. Issues to be addressed will include:

importance of recording non-protein constituents,
multimerism,
relations to disease hypotheses,
kinds of evidence, research plan, protein knowledge queries that would aid the

researchers, protein knowledge queries they think their colleagues ought to be able to do that would retrieve their own results. - Same issues as above, but for protein complexes. To address in addition: criteria for being a complex - what amount of stability necessary, component stoichiometry and structure, modifications/changes to complexes and associated functional changes. - Based on above analysis set project goals for 3 months, 6 months, 1 year.
