Publication: Managing expectations: assessment of chemistry databases generated by automated extraction of chemical structures from patents

On October 6, 2015, Posted by , In Publications, By ,,,,,, , With Comments Off on Publication: Managing expectations: assessment of chemistry databases generated by automated extraction of chemical structures from patents

First public disclosure of new chemical entities often takes place in patents, which makes them an important source of information. However, with an ever increasing number of patent applications, manual processing and curation on such a large scale becomes even more challenging. An alternative approach better suited for this large…

Publication: Incorporating private and commercial data into an open linked data platform for drug discovery

On October 22, 2013, Posted by , In Publications, By ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, , With Comments Off on 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: Scientific competency questions as the basis for semantically enriched open pharmacological space development

On May 20, 2013, Posted by , In Publications, By ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, , With Comments Off on Publication: Scientific competency questions as the basis for semantically enriched open pharmacological space development

Molecular information systems play an important part in modern data-driven drug discovery. They do not only support decision making but also enable new discoveries via association and inference. In this review, we outline the scientific requirements identified by the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI) Open PHACTS consortium for the design of…
