Implementation of linked data in the life sciences at BioHackathon 2011.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Linked Data has gained some attention recently in the life sciences as an effective way to provide and share data. As a part of the Semantic Web, data are linked so that a person or machine can explore the web of data. Resource Description Framework (RDF) is the standard means of implementing Linked Data. In the process of generating RDF data, not only are data simply linked to one another, the links themselves are characterized by ontologies, thereby allowing the types of links to be distinguished.

This increase in interoperability facilitates the multi-faceted retrieval of data, and the appro
