Re: Clinical Trials Datasets in UK

Hi, Oktie,

Thanks much for your note. The LinkedCT is a very nice RDF dataset for ClinicalTrials.gov and we have explored it a little bit, which as you pointed out contains a subset of UK clinical trials. We were wondering whether there is a comprehensive dataset available for the UK trials.

BTW, do you have a schema available for the LinkedCT dataset?

Thanks,

-Guoqian

Hi Guoqian,

At least a subset (or perhaps the majority) of the trials performed in the U.K. are registered on ClinicalTrials.gov as well and as a result can be found on LinkedCT http://linkedct.org which provides RDF. You can download an RDF dump of the data at: http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~oktie/linkedct

I searched for the ID of a few trials found through the search services you have listed in your email and was able to find them on LinkedCT.

Cheers,
Oktie

Do you happen to know whether this kind of clinical trial datasets are publicly available for download, ideally in RDF?
