生命科学分野の同義URI辞書の構築

抄録

Many life science data have been published in RDF. In general, life science data are diverse and store knowledge about various relevant concepts and relationships among them. These concepts include proteins, genes, compounds, and diseases, and are represented by identifiers in databases. To understand biological phenomena, it is crucial to extensively investigate their characteristics and relationships among them, and it is ideal to use one and only identifier for a concept over the databases, but in reality, multiple identifiers are often used for a concept. The Database Center for Life Sciences (DBCLS) has gathered life science RDF data and published them at RDF Portal. Here, we have investigated the synonym URIs in it and examined the challenges and future works.
