System, method and apparatus for assembling and mining life science data
First Claim
1. A method of assembling a life science knowledge base comprising the steps of:
- (a) generating two or more nodes indicative of life science data using a life science taxonomy;
(b) assigning to one or more pairs of nodes a representation descriptor, the representation descriptor corresponding to a relationship between a pair of nodes;
(c) assembling two or more nodes and one or more representation descriptors assigned to one or more pairs of said two or more nodes into an electronic database such that at least one of said two or more nodes is joined to a another node by a representation descriptor.

Abstract
Method and system for managing and evaluating life science data. Life Science data is placed in a knowledge base, that may be used for a variety of analysis tasks. Creating a knowledge base from the life science data involves generating two or more nodes indicative of life science data, assigning to one or more pairs of nodes a representation descriptor that corresponds to a relationship between the nodes, and assembling the nodes and the relationship descriptor into a database, such that at least one of the nodes is joined to another node by a representation descriptor. In some embodiments, the representation descriptor includes a case frame that describes the relationships between elements of life science data.
