LarKC releases Linked Life Data v.0.4.1

08 Feb 2010

LarKC is a large EU-funded consortium aiming to build the Large Knowledge Collicer, an infrastructure for reasoning with very large knowledge bases. LarKC’s Linked Life Data (LLD) 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. More information about the new release can be found at the LarKC-blog: http://blog.larkc.eu/?p=1871

LarKC & the Concept Web Alliance (CWA)
LarKC is a large EU-funded consortium aiming to build the Large Knowledge Collicer, an infrastructure for reasoning with very large knowledge bases. These knowledge bases are stored as very large networks of relations between objects. Such relations (also known as "triples" because they have the form <object,relation,object>).
The central idea of the Concept Web Alliance is to build a web of millions of life-science concepts (organisms, genes, proteins, processes) and relations between them, in precisely the form of the "triples" for which LarKC will provide a very large scale storage and reasoning infrastructure. LarKC is a.o. contributing substantial triple-sets in the life-science domain: the Linked Life Dataset contains more than 4 billion relations between over 600 million concepts which integrate a large number of lifescience datasets, including UniProt, PubMed, UMLS, Entrez-Gene and 20 more.
