Methods for large-scale semantic expansion on Hadoop architecture

Abstract

Volume of publicly available data in biomedicine is constantly increasing. However, this data is stored in different formats on different platforms. Integrating this data will enable us to facilitate the pace of medical discoveries by providing scientists with a unifed view of this diverse information. Under the auspices of the National Center for Biomedical Ontology, we have developed the Resource Index a growing, large-scale index of more than twenty diverse Biomedical resources.
