Linked Life Data 0.4.1 released
LarKC’s Linked Life Data development team is proud to announce the 0.4.1 release of LLD service. LLD is a public RDF warehouse that semantically integrates more than 20 popular biomedical data sources. The release contains 4,179,999,703 statements that connect 579,309,731 RDF resources.Some of the new features are:
- Major UI face-lift
- UMLS concept auto-complete search
- New default search interface that combines UMLS concept auto-complete, RDF explore, and full-text search
- Extension of SPARQL with Lucene full-text search index, example: select * where {?s <http://www.ontotext.com/luceneQuery “<lucene query>”}
- Simplified semantic annotation scheme so that only one predicate is used to link document and concept (http://linkedlifedata.com/resource/lifeskim/mentions)
- Revision of the UMLS semantic types that are used
- Altered schema of PubMed document
- Mappings between EntrezGene and all other sources that mention genes
- Mappings between Taxonomy and all other sources that mention organisms
- Mappings between GO and all other sources that mention gene or gene product annotation terms
- Many fixes in the data source processing (encoding, incorrect URI generation, non-conventional URIs)
The service is accessible at http://linkedlifedata.comand http://linkedlifedata.com/openrdf-sesame/repositories/owlim?query=

[…] The field of medicine and biomedical research requires an enormous body of knowledge for the development of new therapeutic strategies. This knowledge today is present in different silos such as UniProt containing information about protein sequences, PubMed comprising of biomedical citations and journals and Gene Home representing a searchable database of genes. Explore Linked Life Data, a semantic platform which integrates all these silos providing you an opportunity to search, explore and connect the biomedical data sources represented in RDF formats. You may now access all the silos using a single platform which does mappings between taxonomy, combines UMLS concepts and much more under the paradigm of the semantic web.
