Description

Currently, the WikiPathways RDF resource IRIs are based on identifiers.org. While that is a useful intereoperability feature, it also makes our data not linked data, where doing a HTTP request on the IRI returns you RDF about the resource with that IRI.

Proposal

Resolvable IRIs

  • replace IRIs patterns for the following resource types to start with http://rdf.wikipathways.org
    • Pathway
    • GeneProduct
    • Rna
    • Protein
    • Metabolite
    • Complex
    • Interaction

This list is taken to reflect things that can have identifiers and (BridgeDb-based) links out.

Implementing the resolving

  • Apache/Nginx server that hosts rdf.wikipathways.org needs to recognize the new IRIs
  • the IRI returns RDF:
    • the RDF is created by running a DESCRIBE against SPARQL endpoint
  • the IRI returns HTML:
    • for WikiPathways IRIs it would redirect to the wikipathways.org page
    • for other items it would show useful info, optional, and can be done later on.
      • maybe redirect to Scholia?
