Deliverable Report D5.3 User applications for importing NanoWiki data

Description

The eNanoMapper Community Outreach focuses on the implementation of a number of use cases defined by the community. One common use case is the import into the eNanoMapper database of data from another database. This use case therefore consists of exporting data from one database in some format, writing an importer that can handle that format and reading it into the knowledge base, with minimal or no information loss. The goal of the work completed here was to expose a dataset originally initiated in the lab of the Karolinska Institutet by the current principal investigator of the Maastricht University team. This dataset, called NanoWiki, currently consists of an internal knowledgebase of physicochemical characterizations and biochemical assay results extracted from the literature for more than 300 nanomaterials, mostly metal oxide nanomaterials. The tasks entailed the work to expose this data via the first eNanoMapper data warehouse platform. The data from the knowledgebase was exported as Resource Description Framework (RDF) data and as such imported in the eNanoMapper database using a dedicated importer to map data to the data structure of the eNanoMapper database. The results show that we successfully worked out this use case. It should be noted that the RDF export of NanoWiki was not using the eNanoMapper ontology, though during the task, the NanoWiki knowledgebase was updated to at least use ontologies in the process of being adopted by eNanoMapper (WP2). This is demonstrated with the structure for some studies showing the annotation of bioassays and cell lines particularly. The NanoWiki is now exposed via the http://data.enanomapper.net/ platform, serving the further purpose of demonstrating the functionality of the running development version of this platform. The data is available under a CCZero data license.
