Publication: Incorporating private and commercial data into an open linked data platform for drug discovery
The Open PHACTS Discovery Platform aims to provide an integrated information space to advance pharmacological research in the area of drug discovery. Effective drug discovery requires comprehensive data coverage, i.e. integrating all available sources of pharmacology data. While many relevant data sources are available on the linked open data cloud,…
Publication: Including Co-referent URIs in a SPARQL Query
Linked data relies on instance level links between potentially differing representations of concepts in multiple datasets. However, in large complex domains, such as pharmacology, the inter-relationship of data instances needs to consider the context (e.g. task, role) of the user and the assumptions they want to apply to the data….
