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,...

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 ...

BACKGROUND Semantic Web technologies have been widely applied in the life sciences, for example by data providers such as OpenLifeData and through web services frameworks such as SADI. The recently reported OpenLifeData2SADI project offers access to the vast OpenLifeData data store through SADI services. FINDINGS This article describes how to merge data retrieved from OpenLifeData2SADI with o...

We consider the generic problem of Secure Aggregation of Distributed Information (SADI), where several agents acting as a team have information distributed amongst them, modelled by means of a publicly known deck of cards distributed amongst the agents, so that each of them knows only her cards. The agents have to exchange and aggregate the information about how the cards are distributed amongs...

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...

Staged bariatric procedures in high risk patients are a common used strategy for morbid obese patients nowadays. After previous sleeve gastrectomy, surgical treatments in order to complete weight loss or comorbidities improvements or resolutions are possible. One strategy is to perform a novel technique named SADI (single anastomosis duodenoileal bypass-sleeve). We present the technique for tot...

Semantic Web technologies have been widely applied in Life Sciences, for example by data providers like OpenLifeData and Web Services frameworks like SADI. The recent OpenLifeData2SADI project offers access to the OpenLifeData data store through SADI services. This paper shows how to merge data from OpenLifeData with other extant SADI services in the Galaxy bioinformatics analysis platform, mak...
