Wikidata is a community-maintained knowledge base that has been assembled from repositories in the fields of genomics, proteomics, genetic variants, pathways, chemical compounds, and diseases, adheres to FAIR principles findability, accessibility, interoperability reusability. Here we describe breadth depth biomedical contained within Wikidata, discuss open-source tools have built add information synchronize it with source databases. We also demonstrate several use cases for including...
Making data available as Linked Data using Resource Description Framework (RDF) promotes integration with other web resources. RDF documents can natively link to related data, and others back Uniform Identifiers (URIs). makes the machine-readable uses extensible vocabularies for additional information, making it easier scale up inference analysis.This paper describes recent developments in an ongoing project converting from ChEMBL database into triples. Relative earlier versions, this...
The discovery of new medicines requires pharmacologists to interact with a number information sources ranging from tabular data scientific papers, and other specialized formats. In this application report, we describe linked platform for
The Complex Portal (www.ebi.ac.uk/complexportal) is a manually curated, encyclopaedic database of macromolecular complexes with known function from range model organisms. It summarizes complex composition, topology and along links to large domain-specific resources (i.e. wwPDB, EMDB Reactome). Since the last update in 2019, we have produced first draft complexome for Escherichia coli, maintained updated that Saccharomyces cerevisiae, added over 40 coronavirus increased human 1100 include...
Open biological data are distributed over many resources making them challenging to integrate, update and disseminate quickly. Wikidata is a growing, open community database which can serve this purpose also provides tight integration with Wikipedia. In order improve the state of data, facilitate management dissemination, we imported all human mouse genes, proteins into Wikidata. total, 59 721 genes 73 355 have been from NCBI 27 306 16 728 Swissprot subset UniProt. As be edited by anybody,...
During BioHackathon 24 in Fukushima, we organized a WikiBlitz, collaborative effort to integrate biodiversity observations from iNaturalist into the Wikimedia ecosystem. A WikiBlitz is inspired by concept of BioBlitz, where participants document as many species possible within limited time frame, while also contributing structured data Wikidata, Commons, and Wikipedia. In this report, describe methodology outcomes event, including collection 109 their subsequent verification integration...
The diversity of online resources storing biological data in different formats provides a challenge for bioinformaticians to integrate and analyse their data. semantic web standard facilitate knowledge integration using statements built as triples describing relation between two objects. WikiPathways, an collaborative pathway resource, is now available the through SPARQL endpoint at http://sparql.wikipathways.org. Having pathways allows rapid with from other that contain information about...
With the advancement of genome-sequencing technologies, new genomes are being sequenced daily. Although these sequences deposited in publicly available data warehouses, their functional and genomic annotations (beyond genes which predicted automatically) mostly reside text primary publications. Professional curators hard at work extracting those from literature for most studied organisms depositing them structured databases. However, resources don't exist to fund comprehensive curation...
Integration of open access, curated, high-quality information from multiple disciplines in the Life and Biomedical Sciences provides a holistic understanding domain.
