Building conceptual spaces for exploring and linking biomedical resources

Abstract

The establishment of links between data (e.g., patient records) and Web resources (e.g., literature) and the proper visualization of such discovered knowledge is still a challenge in most Life Science domains (e.g., biomedicine). In this paper we present our contribution to the community in the form of an infrastructure to annotate information resources, to discover relationships among them, and to represent and visualize the new discovered knowledge. Furthermore, we have also implemented a Web-based prototype tool which integrates the proposed infrastructure.
