An infrastructure for supporting the semantic interoperability of biomedical resources based on the management (storing and inference-based querying) of their ontology-based annotations

(Fig. 1)

. The infrastructure consists of: 

1. a repository to store and query ontology-based annotations (API - https://github.com/sarala/ricordo-rdfstore, 

   WS - https://github.com/sarala/ricordo-rdfstore-ws); 
2. a knowledge base server with an inference engine to support the storage of and reasoning over ontologies used in the annotation of resources  (API - https://github.com/sarala/ricordo-owlkb, 

   WS - https://github.com/sarala/ricordo-owlkb-ws);

    
3. a set of applications and services allowing interaction with the integrated repository and knowledge base 

   (https://github.com/sarala/ricordo-refui

   )

    . 

The framework presents a configurable, deployable infrastructure to allow individual communities to deploy within their environments. Configuration files are provided to configure each module to work within individual communities.
