Abstract

In the glycoscience, there are various styles for representing glycan data, and that have been an obstacle to link life science data using the Semantic Web technologies. In order to solve this problem, we have developed Web3 Unique Representation of Carbohydrate Structures (WURCS) as a new unique linear notation for representing carbohydrates for the Semantic Web. WURCS has the following features: linear notation so that it can be used as a URI, and a unique notation such that any published glycan structure including ambiguity can be represented distinctively. WURCS can be used to search for the same carbohydrate moiety in databases implementing this format. Furthermore, we developed a tool that generates WURCS using a structure-drawing editor. We also organized a WURCS Working Group for the promotion of WURCS, which currently involves glycoscientists from around the world.
