SWAN Project Creates Structured Data for Neuromedicine Research
February 2, 2010
We found a great new site helping disseminate structured data to help researchers discover information about Alzheimer’s and other diseases. From their web site:
SWAN (Semantic Web Applications in Neuromedicine) is a Web-based collaborative program that aims to organize and annotate scientific knowledge about Alzheimer disease (AD) and other neurodegenerative disorders. The SWAN project is designed to allow the community of AD researchers to author, curate and connect a diversity of data and ideas about AD via secure personal and public SWAN workspaces, using the emerging Semantic Web paradigm for deep interconnection of data, information and knowledge.
