Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:This report presents the work focused on building a BOA (Biomedical Ontology Applications) framework. The BOA research activity of XLDB group of LASIGE aims to investigate and develop applications to efficiently exploit the information contained in biomedical ontologies, such as Gene Ontology (GO) and Chemical Entities of Biological Interest (ChEBI). BOA offers three web tools for the community: ProteInOn, and CMPSim CESSM. The aim of this thesis was to integrate these tools into a semantic web approach, based on a framework consists of: i) back-end, where the scripts run, ii) a mediator, a set of web services that allows communication between the different components of the framework and iii) front-end, web pages that allow to interact and view the results of the tools. The web services were developed so that they can be used internally, by tools created by the group or the web pages of tools, and externally, in a direct manner by users or integration into other tools or web pages. It is noteworthy that two web services architectures were implemented in order to fulfill all objectives. A RESTful architecture, making it easier for users without programming skills, and an RPC architecture that overcomes the limitations found in the RESTful architecture.
