ADTF: DOPE: Drug Ontology Project for Elsevier

URL: http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/swc/dope.html/
Date created: 2003

Description:
The aim of the DOPE project (Drug Ontology Project for Elsevier) is to investigate the possibility of providing access to multiple information sources in the area of life sciences, through a single interface. DOPE allows thesaurus-driven access to heterogeneous and distributed data, based on the RDF data model. This architecture allows for the easy addition of ontologies and data sources, to facilitate the investigation of ontology mapping and data integration issues.

Usecase:
Propose ways to provide access to multiple lifescience information sources through a single interface in order to support information providers such as Elsevier make it their business.
