SADI for GMOD: Semantic Web Services for Model Organism Databases
نویسندگان
چکیده
Here we describe work-in-progress on the SADI for GMOD project (SADI: Semantic Automated Discovery and Integration; GMOD: Generic Model Organism Database), a distribution of ready-made Web services that will bring additional model organism data onto the Semantic Web. SADI is a lightweight standard for implementing Web services that natively consume and generate RDF, while GMOD is a widely-used toolkit for building model organism databases (e.g. FlyBase, ParameciumDB). The SADI for GMOD services will provide a novel mechanism for analyzing data across GMOD sites, as well as other bioinformatics resources that publish their data using SADI.

Ecotoxicology Data Federation with SADI Semantic Web Services
Biologists and biotechnologists need to draw information from numerous distributed and heterogeneous resources, such as online biomedical databases, nomenclatures and specialised bioinformatics tools. These tasks can benefit significantly from semantic data federation with SADI Semantic Web services where multiple resources exposed through SADI services are accessed as a single virtual SPARQL-q...
متن کاملAutomated Generation of SADI Web Services for Clinical Intelligence using Ruled-Based Semantic Mappings
We present a framework that automates the generation of SADI semantic web services from declarative service descriptions and semantic mappings to relational data. Mappings are specified in a Datalog sublanguage of Positional-Slotted Object-Applicative (PSOA) RuleML. We outline a novel methodology, a system architecture, and a prototype implementation for service generation. A proof-of-concept i...
متن کاملGenerating Semantic Web Services from Declarative Descriptions
Semantic Web services are an effective middleware for semantic querying of relational databases. Despite the benefits of this approach, writing Web service code manually is labor-intensive and error-prone. To ameliorate this, we propose a framework to generate SADI web services from declarative service descriptions in which access to databases is achieved through semantic mappings. These mappin...
متن کاملThe Semantic Automated Discovery and Integration (SADI) Web service Design-Pattern, API and Reference Implementation
BACKGROUND The complexity and inter-related nature of biological data poses a difficult challenge for data and tool integration. There has been a proliferation of interoperability standards and projects over the past decade, none of which has been widely adopted by the bioinformatics community. Recent attempts have focused on the use of semantics to assist integration, and Semantic Web technolo...
متن کاملExecuting SADI services in Galaxy
BACKGROUND In recent years Galaxy has become a popular workflow management system in bioinformatics, due to its ease of installation, use and extension. The availability of Semantic Web-oriented tools in Galaxy, however, is limited. This is also the case for Semantic Web Services such as those provided by the SADI project, i.e. services that consume and produce RDF. Here we present SADI-Galaxy,...
