Abstract

Core to the success of applying Semantic Web technologies (SWT) towards supporting Life Sciences research is the availability of tools that lower the entry barrier for adoption by biomedical researchers. Researchers need to easily and intuitively exploit and query the wealth of data that is available behind as SPARQL endpoints. Here, we present SemScape, a semantic-web enabled plugin for the popular network biology software Cytoscape. SemScape can be used to query any knowledge bases with a SPARQL endpoint by leveraging familiarity with existing software and intuitiveness of big data exploitation through a mechanism that encapsulates the complexity of data in parametric context dependent queries. We believe SemScape can provide a valuable resource both for data consumers and data publishers.
