A - Posteriori Integration for Life Sciences Data

Multiple datasets that add high value to biomedical research have been exposed on the web as part of the Life Sciences Linked Open Data (LS-LOD) Cloud. The ability to easily navigate through these datasets is crucial in order to draw meaningful biological co relations. However, navigating these multiple datasets is not trivial as most of these are only available as isolated SPARQL endpoints with very little vocabulary reuse. We propose an approach for Autonomous Resource Discovery and Indexing (ARDI), a set of configurable rules which can be used to discover links between biological entities in the LS-LOD cloud. We have catalogued and linked concepts and properties from 137 public SPARQL endpoints. The ARDI is used to dynamically assemble queries retrieving data from multiple SPARQL endpoints simultaneously.
