Visualizing LinkedOpen Data Andra Waagmeester
Overview • Context: Pathways • Howto: Linked data • Make sense of linked data • Visualizing linked data
Böhringer Mannheim Poster Gerhard Michal 1974
Pathwayknowledge in theliterature... Insulin inactivates liver phosphorylase, the principal enyzme that causes liver glycogen to split into glucose. This prevents breakdown of the glycogen that has been stored in the liver.
PathwayLoom • Plugin for the pathway editor Pathvisio • Using existing knowledge to guide pathway creation (Click-Search-Grow) • Use online and local data resources for interaction data • Searches for known interaction partners for a target element
Caveats • Online resources tend to be volatile • Each Resource comes with its own Webserviceflavour (REST, SOAP, custom made) • The plugin has to deal with multitude of output formats (JSON, CSV, XML, etc)

Linked Data Elements • The triple • <Subject> <Predicate> <Object> • <Andra> <Lives in> <Antwerp> • <Andra> <Works at> <Maastricht University> • The dereferencable Unified Resource Identfier • <Andra> = http://www.linkedin.com/pub/andra-waagmeester/2/579/478 • <Lives in> = http://www.w3.org/2006/vcard/ns#Home • <Works at> = http://www.w3.org/2006/vcard/ns#Work • <Antwerp> = http://dbpedia.org/resource/Antwerp
Making sense of dereferencable URI’s • Who lives in Antwerp • SPARQL:PREFIX linkedIn: <http://www.linkedin.com/pub/>PREFIX vcard: http://www.w3.org/2006/vcard/ns#PREFIX dbpedia: <http://dbpedia.org/resource/>SELECT * WHERE { ?person vcard:workdbpedia:Antwerp} • Returns a mulitude of the following lines:PREFIX linkedIn ….linkedIn:andra.linkedIn:alex .…… linkedIn:silivius .
Find compounds, targets and enzmes. Viewing provenance, filtering by species or activity and searching by structure are only a click or two away.
Within the OpenPHACTS Explorer data from Chemspider, drugbank, chembl and other sources are combined in an easy to use interface. Download your results as a spreadsheet to your own computer.
With Interaction available as Linked data • Online resources remains volatile, but having the data in downloadable format allows local usage. • There is a uniform webservice (SPARQL query). • The plugin requires only a SPARQL wrapper to consume data.
Semscape – Visualizing linked data landscapes with Cytoscape • Researchers need to easily and intuitively exploit and query the wealth of data that is available behind SPARQL endpoints. • SemScape, a semantic-web enabled plugin for Cytoscape. • Allows visualizing Sparql queries in cytoscape. • Allows creating link data landscapes, which linked data schemas of distributed SPARQL endpoints
Conclusions • Creating linked data is a process where data is described in triples (subject, predicate, object). • Each element of a triple should be dereferencable URI • SPARQL is a query language for linked data • SPARQL is for the technical savvy • Different visualization techniques allows the integration of Linked Data in various software frameworks, websites, blogs, etc
