Bio-zen

The bio-zen project was a project for the development of a Semantic Web infrastructure for the representation of information from biomedical research on the Semantic Web. The Semantic Web is a new generation of the World Wide Web with well-defined semantics of data structures, which makes it easy for software and users to process information and to make logical links. The project consisted of the development of a Semantic Web ontology (‘bio-zen’) and the adaptation of Semantic Web tools for the practical use of this ontology. The development of this ontology is based on distinguished design criteria.
