What metabolites are found in which species? Nanopublications from Wikidata

In December I reported about Groovy code to create nanopublications . This has been running for some time now, extracting nanopubs that assert that some metabolite is found in some species. I send the resulting nanopubs to Tobias Kuhn , to populate his Growing Resource of Provenance-Centric Scientific Linked Data (doi:10.1109/eScience.2018.00024, PDF). less than 1 minute read

Join me in encouraging the ACS to join the Initiative for Open Citations

My research is into abstract representation of chemical information, important for other research to be performed.

Efforts like WikiCite and Scholia do allow me to navigate the citation network, so that I can determine which research fields my output influences and which diseases are studied with methods I proposed. Here’s a network of topics of articles citing my work: 1 minute read
