The main underlying motive behind this work is to unify all life-science knowledge currently sitting on isolated silos. So...
Biovista Vizit is a knowledge (force directed) graph exploration platform that integrates data from various heterogeneous biomedical resources. By overlaying structured biomedical datasets with literature evidence, Vizit empowers researchers to explore genes, diseases, pathways, and clinical outcomes through an intuitive interactive graph. For each connection, multi-modal supporting evidence is provided, linking back to the original biomedical corpus, like MEDLINE, Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO), Protein Data Bank (PDB), Adverse Outcome Pathway (AOP), and ClinicalTrials.gov.
A big effort in integrating these disparate data sources went into systematically handling the fragmentation problem created by multiple synonyms, typos and generally unstructured input text fields. We now have a procedure to integrate other public biomedical data sources (e.g. USPTO, FDA AERS) or private in house data into the system. Each one comes with its own challenges of course.
