Abstract:
DataCure establishes a process for data curation and annotation that makes use of APIs (eliminating the need for manual file sharing) and semantic annotations for a more systematic and reproducible data curation workflow. In this case study, users are provided with capabilities to allow access to different OpenRiskNet data sources and target specific entries in an automated fashion for the purpose of identifying data and metadata associated with a chemical in general to identify possible areas of concern or for a specific endpoint of interest (Figure 1B). The datasets can be curated using OpenRiskNet workflows developed for this case study and, in this way, cleansed e.g. for their use in model development (Figure 1A). Text mining facilities and workflows are also included for the purposes of data searching, extraction and annotation (Figure 1C). A first step in this process was to define APIs and provide the semantic annotation for selected databases (e.g. FDA datasets, ToxCast/Tox21 and ChEMBL). During the preparation for these use cases, it became clear that the existing ontologies do not cover all requirements of the semantic interoperability layer. Nevertheless, the design of the annotation process as an online or an offline/preprocessing step forms an ancillary part of this case study even though the ontology development and improvement cannot be fully covered by OpenRiskNet and is instead organized as a collaborative activity of the complete chemical and nano risk assessment community.
