SPARC Connectivity Knowledge Base of the Autonomic Nervous System (SCKAN; SPARC Portal) is part of the NIH Common Fund’s Stimulating Peripheral Activity to Relieve Conditions (SPARC) program. SCKAN is a semantic store housing a comprehensive knowledge base of autonomic nervous system (ANS) nerve to end organ connectivity. Connectivity information is derived from SPARC experts, SPARC data, literature and textbooks.
Mentors: The primary mentors for these projects would be Tom Gillespie and Fahim Imam (mainainters of the NIF ontologies and SCKAN).
Skill level: intermediate/experienced
Aim: The projects will focus on the development of user interface components that can be embedded within a website for the visualization of connectivity information from the knowledgebase.
