Can we get more info about "A-tags"? > Daniel Hi Daniel, Basically, aTags are a simple convention for representing statements annotated with entities from taxonomies and ontologies. The convention is based on the SIOC standard and linked data principles. Other assertion-centric formats (such as SWAN or the nano-publication format drafted by the Concept Web Alliance) can easily be mapped to aTags. A paper describing aTags will soon appear in the Journal of Biomedical Semantics. You can get a preview at http://www.jbiomedsem.com/content/pdf/2041-1480-1-s1-s5.pdf An example of a collection of aTags created by manual curation can be found at: http://hcls.deri.org/atag/data/tcm_atags.html A collection of some existing datasets: http://esw.w3.org/HCLSIG_BioRDF_Subgroup/aTags/datasets A prototypical faceted browser for aggregated aTags (does not work in IE): http://hcls.deri.org/atag/explorer/ The datasets can be queried with SPARQL at: http://hcls.deri.org/sparql (the graph names to be used in queries are documented at http://esw.w3.org/HCLSIG_BioRDF_Subgroup/DERI_HCLS_KB) Cheers, Matthias Samwald
