Improved Dataset Coverage and Interoperability with Bio2RDF Release 2
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bio2RDF is an open source project that uses Semantic Web technologies to create and provide the largest network of Linked Data for the life sciences. Here, we present the second release of the Bio2RDF project which features updated, open-source scripts, a resource registry for IRI mapping and normalization, dataset provenance, data metrics, downloadable RDF data files and Virtuoso SPARQL endpoints. We describe dataset connectivity, assisted SPARQL queries with context-aware SPARQLed, and mashup capability using the Sig.ma search engine. We discuss updates to the Bio2RDF project in the context of other related resources as well as future improvements.

Bio2RDF Release 2: Improved Coverage, Interoperability and Provenance of Life Science Linked Data
Bio2RDF currently provides the largest network of Linked Data for the Life Sciences. Here, we describe a significant update to increase the overall quality of RDFized datasets generated from open scripts powered by an API to generate registry-validated IRIs, dataset provenance and metrics, SPARQL endpoints, downloadable RDF and database files. We demonstrate federated SPARQL queries within and ...
متن کاملBio2RDF Release 3: A larger, more connected network of Linked Data for the Life Sciences
Bio2RDF is an open source project to generate and provide Linked Data for the Life Sciences. Here, we report on a third coordinated release of ~11 billion triples across 30 biomedical databases and datasets, representing a 10 fold increase in the number of triples since Bio2RDF Release 2 (Jan 2013). New clinically relevant datasets have been added. New features in this release include improved ...
متن کاملOntology-Based Querying with Bio2RDF’s Linked Open Data
BACKGROUND A key activity for life scientists in this post "-omics" age involves searching for and integrating biological data from a multitude of independent databases. However, our ability to find relevant data is hampered by non-standard web and database interfaces backed by an enormous variety of data formats. This heterogeneity presents an overwhelming barrier to the discovery and reuse of...
متن کاملModel and prototype for querying multiple linked scientific datasets
Scientists need to perform semantically similar queries across multiple heterogeneous linked datasets. These queries may require data from different locations and the results are not simple to combine due to differences between datasets. A query model was developed to make it simple to distribute queries across different datasets using RDF as the results format. The query model, based on the co...
متن کاملSpecial issue on Linked Data for Health Care and the Life Sciences
Health Care and Life Sciences (HCLS) have long been a test-bed for the standards proposed by the W3C to build the Semantic Web1: since HCLS is descriptive by nature and its descriptions have traditionally been produced according to ad-hoc schemas in isolated resources, HCLS offers an ideal use case for technologies like RDF2, SPARQL3 and OWL4 [1,4]. This “marriage” of the HCLS domain with seman...
