Title |
Life science database integration based on semantic web technology
|
Abstract |
More than 1,500 databases have been developed in the life science research field and most of them are available on the web. Searching and combining data across the databases for data sharing, reuse and analysis are still very difficult tasks for both experimental biologists/clinicians and data scientists, and even for bioinformaticians. Database Center for Life Science (DBCLS) has been developing tools and systems for the life science database integration using the semantic web technology, specifically, resource description framework (RDF). In this seminar, I would like to introduce such tools and systems, including (1) web applications for searching various omics and clinical information, (2) middleware software that help bioinformaticians and application programmers for accessing information stored in RDF triple store (database), (3) databases and other resources integrated in RDF data core, and (4) tools for converting RDB and table format data into RDF.
