New source of open chemistry patent data available
A major new source of open patent chemistry is now available, thanks to the collaboration between Digital Science and the EBI ChEMBL group. We are discussing how this data might be integrated with Open PHACTS and look forward to developing use cases in 2014.
Students build novel apps with Open PHACTS API
Undergraduate students from Maastricht University in the Netherlands took part in a Programming in the Life Sciences course. The students created novel applications in six days to consume data via the Open PHACTS API.
Publication: Computing Identity Co-Reference Across Drug Discovery Datasets
This paper presents the rules used within the Open PHACTS (http://www.openphacts.org) Identity Management Service to compute co-reference chains across multiple datasets. The web of (linked) data has encouraged a proliferation of identifiers for the concepts captured in datasets; with each dataset using their own identifier. A key data integration challenge…
Publication: Nanopublications for exposing experimental data in the life-sciences: a Huntingtion’s Disease case study
Data from high throughput experiments often produce far more results than can ever appear in the main text or tables of a single research article. In these cases, the majority of new associations is often archived either as supplemental information in an arbitrary format or in publisher-independent databases that can…
Publication: Open PHACTS Explorer: Bringing the web to the semantic web
The Open PHACTS Explorer is a web application that supports drug discovery via the Open PHACTS API without requiring knowledge of SPARQL or the RDF data being searched. It provides a UI layer on top of the Open PHACTS linked data cache and also provides a javascript library to facilitate…

Publication: Pav ontology: provenance, authoring and versioning
We present the Provenance, Authoring and Versioning ontology (PAV): a lightweight ontology for capturing “just enough” descriptions essential for tracking the provenance, authoring and versioning of web resources. We argue that such descriptions are essential for digital scientific content. PAV distinguishes between contributors, authors and curators of content and creators…

Target Dossier released
It is our pleasure to announce the official release of Target Dossier, one of the Example Applications developed within the Open PHACTS project. The Target Dossier uses the Open PHACTS Discovery Platform to answer questions of tissue expression profiles, druggability, pathways and physiological mechanisms. Drug targets can be selected and further investigated….
