Ontologies of genetic and infectious diseases known to be related to glycan metabolism and glycan binding

Glyco-Disease Genes Database (GDGDB) and Pathogen Adherence to Carbohydrate Database (PACDB) have been developed by the Research Center for Medical Glycoscience. With the purpose to organize their information and enrich their contents with data from other biomedical resources we have designed and created GDGDB RDF & GGDonto ontology and PAConto ontology, respectively. These ontologies are based on the Semantic Web technologies and represented in RDF. We hope that these ontologies and databases will help the users to better understand the etiology, pathogenesis and manifestations of the diseases known to be related to glycan metabolism and glycan binding.

GDGDB RDF
RDF representation of the data from the Glyco-Disease Genes Database (GDGDB)
GGDonto
Genetic Glyco-Diseases Ontology (GGDonto): Ontology of genetic diseases known to be related to glycan metabolism
PAConto
Pathogen Adherence to Carbohydrate Ontology (PAConto): RDF representation of the data from the Pathogen Adherence to Carbohydrate Database (PACDB) and Ontology of infectious diseases known to be related to glycan binding
