There is an urgent need to improve the infrastructure supporting reuse of scholarly data. A diverse set stakeholders-representing academia, industry, funding agencies, and publishers-have come together design jointly endorse a concise measureable principles that we refer as FAIR Data Principles. The intent these may act guideline for those wishing enhance reusability their data holdings. Distinct from peer initiatives focus on human scholar, Principles put specific emphasis enhancing ability...

The FAIR principles have been widely cited, endorsed and adopted by a broad range of stakeholders since their publication in 2016. By intention, the 15 guiding do not dictate specific technological implementations, but provide guidance for improving Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability Reusability digital resources. This has likely contributed to adoption principles, because individual stakeholder communities can implement own solutions. However, it also resulted inconsistent...

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 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).

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...

Pandemics, even more than other medical problems, require swift integration of knowledge. When caused by a new virus, understanding the underlying biology may help finding solutions. In setting where there are large number loosely related projects and initiatives, we need common ground, also known as "commons." Wikidata, public knowledge graph aligned with Wikipedia, is such commons uses unique identifiers to link in bases. However, Wikidata not always have right schema for urgent questions....
