Abstract

With the rapid development of next generation sequencing technology and the researches on fermentation mechanism of food microorganism, data and knowledge of food microorganisms increased enormously, including genomic, metagenomics, metabolic and phylogenetic information. These data are distributed from different resources with various data formats. An integrated data platform is necessary for better understanding of biological knowledge from such growing heterogeneous data. As a result, we construct a food microorganism database using semantic web technology. We describe information of gene, genome sequences, gene ontology, protein sequences and structures, pathway and enzyme in the form of Resource Description Framework (RDF) from a wide range of open data resources. In this database, physiological information of microbes from culture collections could be linked to the genomic information and further linked to the metabolic information which allows flexible queries across different domains. User-friendly interfaces of the database provide the ability to answer a number of food microorganisms research related questions based on the linked data.
