Abstract
Semantic Web technology can aid in the elucidation of glycan function by linking life science data. We are developing the GlyCosmos Portal as a portal site of glycoscience and aim to integrate life science data. We have collaborated with domestic and foreign researchers to develop GlycoRDF which is an ontology of glycan information, WURCS which is a carbohydrate structure notation, and GlyTouCan which is an international glycan structure repository. This portal consists of repositories and databases. The repositories include one for glycoconjugates in addition to GlyTouCan. Moreover, we are developing the GlyCosmos database which will store data of glycan-related pathways and glycan structure.
