Andra Waagmeester published a paper on his work on a semantic web version of the WikiPathways (doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1004989). The paper outlines the design decisions, shows the SPARQL endpoint, and several examples SPARQL queries. These include federates queries, like a mashup with DisGeNET (doi:10.1093/database/bav028) and EMBL-EBI's Expression Atlas. That results in nice visualisations like this:

If you have the relevant information in the pathway, these pathways can help a lot in helping understanding of what is biologically going on. And, of course, used for exactly that a lot.

Press release

Because press releases have become an interesting tool in knowledge dissemination, I wanted to learn what it involved to get one out.

As you have seen in my blog, I'm a fan of Wikidata. Because of the Open nature, it's creating an enormous eco-system, in which many scientists are involved and with innovative visualizations. Data comes from many trusted databases, but the complexity of it all requires some hard decisions now and then.

This blog deals with chemblaics in the broader sense. Chemblaics (pronounced chem-bla-ics) is the science that uses computers to solve problems in chemistry, biochemistry and related fields. The big difference between chemblaics and areas such as chem(o)?informatics, chemometrics, computational chemistry, etc, is that chemblaics only uses open source software, open data, and open standards, making experimental results reproducible and validatable. And this is a big difference!
