Cheminformatics meets the Semantic Web and SKOS
Abstract:
Cheminformatics is evolving from being an area of study associated mainly with drug discovery into a discipline that holds the access, management, store, and sharing of chemical data. Present chemical data storage methodologies place many limitations on the use of the stored data. The absence of sufficient metadata prevents intelligent computer access to the chemical data without human act. The application of Semantic Web technologies, primarily Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS), to chemical data is shown to reduce these limitations. In this presentation we present how to express chemical molecular entities in the Chemical Vocabulary for Molecular Entities (CVME), which is based on SKOS. Moreover, we show our proposal for syntax and semantic validation chemical structural formulas.
