Hi all, I had a closer look at the RDF ѕtuff, and from my superficial understanding up to now (no practical experience yet) it seems to be a good exchange format for the dataset component. I would suggest the following convention for creating RDF triplets that represent a dataset: Subject: Compound URI Predicate: Measurement/Algorithm definition URI Object: Feature value An example could look like (in Notation 3 http://www.w3.org/2000/10/swap/Primer): @prefix algorithm: <http://www.opentox.org/ontologies/algorithm/> . @prefix toxicity: <http://www.opentox.org/ontologies/toxicity/> . @prefix blueobelisk: <http://blueobelisk.sourceforge.net/ontologies/chemoinformatics-algorithms/#> . # Examples: # a calculated logP <http://webservices.in-silico.ch/compound/InChI=1S/H4N2/c1-2/h1-2H2> blueobelisk:xlogP -2.20 . # toxicological classification <http://webservices.in-silico.ch/compound/InChI=1S/H4N2/c1-2/h1-2H2> toxicity:multi_cell_call "active" . # a class sensitive structural feature, calculated by an algorithm that does not yet exist in an established ontology <http://webservices.in-silico.ch/compound/InChI=1S/H4N2/c1-2/h1-2H2> algorithm:backbone_refinement_class [ <#smarts> "N-N"; <#p_value> 0.9998; <#effect> "activating" ] . or in RDF/XML: <rdf:RDF xmlns="file:///home/ch/ontologies/tmp#" xmlns:algorithm="http://www.opentox.org/ontologies/algorithm/" xmlns:blueobelisk="http://blueobelisk.sourceforge.net/ontologies/chemoinformatics-algorithms/#" xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:toxicity="http://www.opentox.org/ontologies/toxicity/"> <rdf:Description rdf:about="http://webservices.in-silico.ch/compound/InChI=1S/H4N2/c1-2/h1-2H2"> <blueobelisk:xlogP rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#decimal">-2.2</blueobelisk:xlogP> <algorithm:backbone_refinement_class rdf:parseType="Resource"> <effect>activating</effect> <p_value rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#decimal">0.9998</p_value> <smarts>N-N</smarts> </algorithm:backbone_refinement_class> <toxicity:multi_cell_call>active</toxicity:multi_cell_call> </rdf:Description> </rdf:RDF> Advantages: - We do not need a separate feature webservice (at least for for simple feature values and moderatly complex features, like the tuples in the BBRC example) - We do not need necessarily a feature-ontology (or feature-definition) webservice, if we use, expand and combine existing ontologies - It can help us to solve the problem of unique IDs, by using URIs - Plays well with REST - Established standard - Facilitates queries/reasoning (especially useful for building GUIs) Possible disadvantages: - Support in programming languages? I suspect that RDF could be also useful for the representation of other OpenTox objects (Algorithms, Models, ...). Any opinions? Best regards, Christoph
