Sealife: A Semantic Grid Browser for the Life Sciences Applied to the Study of Infectious Diseases.
Abstract
The objective of Sealife is the conception and realisation of
a semantic Grid browser for the life sciences, which will link the
existing Web to the currently emerging eScience infrastructure. The
SeaLife Browser will allow users to automatically link a host of Web
servers and Web/Grid services to the Web content he/she is visiting. This
will be accomplished using eScience's growing number of Web/Grid Services
and its XML-based standards and ontologies. The browser will identify
terms in the pages being browsed through the background knowledge held in
ontologies. Through the use of Semantic Hyperlinks, which link identified
ontology terms to servers and services, the SeaLife Browser will offer a
new dimension of context-based information integration.
In this paper, we give an overview over the different components of the
browser and their interplay. This SeaLife Browser will be demonstrated
within three application scenarios in evidence-based medicine,
literature & patent mining, and molecular biology, all relating to the
study of infectious diseases. The three applications vertically
integrate the molecule/cell, the tissue/organ and the patient/population
level by covering the analysis of high-throughput screening data for
endocytosis (the molecular entry pathway into the cell), the expression
of proteins in the spatial context of tissue and organs, and a
high-level library on infectious diseases designed for clinicians and
their patients.
