Overview • Linked Data Principles • What is Linked Data? • Linked Data Deployment on the Web • What data is out there? • Linking Open Drug Data • Status and plans of the HCLSIG LODD task
The Classic Web Single information space, build on • URIs • globally unique IDs • retrieval mechanism • Hyperlinks • are the glue that holds everything together Search Engines Web Browsers HTML HTML HTML hyper-links hyper-links A C B
Linked Data • Use Semantic Web technologies to • publish structured data on the Web, • set links between data from one data source to data within other data sources. Thing Thing Thing Thing Thing Thing Thing Thing Thing Thing typedlinks typedlinks typedlinks typedlinks A E C D B
Data objects are identified with HTTP URIs rdf:type foaf:Person pd:cygri foaf:name Richard Cyganiak foaf:based_near dbpedia:Berlin pd:cygri = http://richard.cyganiak.de/foaf.rdf#cygridbpedia:Berlin = http://dbpedia.org/resource/Berlin Forms an RDF link between two data sources.

2. Linked Data Deployment on the Web • W3C Linking Open Data Community Effort • Bio2RDF Project
W3C Linking Open Data Project • Community effort to • publish existing open license datasets as Linked Data on the Web • interlink things between different data sources
The LOD Cloud • More than 2 billion RDF triples • More than 3 million links between datasets.
Organizations publishing Linked Data • Universities and Research Institutes • Massachusetts Institute of Technology (USA) • University of Southampton (UK) • Freie Universität Berlin (DE) • DERI (IRE) • KMi, Open University (UK) • University of London (UK) • Universität Hannover (DE) • University of Pennsylvania (USA) • Universität Leipzig (DE) • Universität Karlsruhe (DE) • Joanneum (AT) • University of Toronto (CA) • Companies • BBC (UK) • OpenLink (UK) • Zitgist (USA) • Talis (UK) • Garlik (UK) • Mondeca (FR) • Cyc Foundation (USA)
The Bio2RDF Project • Goals • Make bioinformatics data available in RDF format on the Web. • Promote the linked data vision within the bioinformatics community. • Answer questions which were not possible or practical to ask before. • Participants • Université Laval, Canada • Queensland University of Technology, Australia
The Bio2RDF Cloud • 27 data sources • 260 million records • 2,7 billion RDF triples
3. Linking Open Drug Data • HCLSIG task started October 1st, 2008 • Primary Objectives • Survey publicly available data sets about drugs • Publish and interlink these data sets on the Web • Explore interesting questions that could be answered if the data sets are linked.
Questions that LODD might help to answer • Physicians and Pharmacists • What are alternative drugs for a given indication (disease)? • What are equivalent drugs (generic version of a brand name, or the chemical name of a active ingredient)? • Are there ongoing clinical trials for a drug? • Consumers • What background information is available about a drug? • Which alternative drugs are available? • What are the contraindications of a drug? • What are the results of clinical trials for a drug? • Pharmaceutical Companies • What are other companies with drugs in similar areas? • Which companies have a similar therapeutic focus?
Public Drug Data Sources • Source: Mark Sharp, et al: A Framework for Characterizing Drug Information Sources, 2008
LODD Participants • Kristin Tolle (Microsoft) • Eric Prud'hommeaux (W3C) • Don Doherty (Brainstage) • Susie Stephens (Lilly) • Bosse Anderssen (AZ) • Scott Marshall (University of Amsterdam) • Chris Bizer (Freie Universitat Berlin) • Glen Newton (National Research Council Canada) • Michel Dumontier (Carleton University) • TN Bhat (NIST) • Oktie Hassanzadeh (University of Toronto) • You?
