Bioassays play an essential role in helping pharmaceutical companies determine the potency, or biological activity of their products. SciBite helps you overcome the complexities of organizing legacy data, employing public standards to ensure the resulting enriched data is open and interoperable and in line with FAIR principles. It also ensures that prospective data capture aligns to the same ontological standards for the seamless integration of historic and future data.
SciBite forms combines autocomplete functionality and semantically aware fields for consistent data input while TERMite automatically aligns entries to their correct ontologies.
CENtree provides a centralized, collaborative platform for the curation and management of ontologies, using subject matter experts to determine and set standardized terminology protocols.
SciBite’s agnostic position and application of public standards allows for data migration across proprietary systems ensuring interoperability and continuity while adhering to FAIR principles.
One of the biggest challenges the pharmaceutical industry faces is making scientific data findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR).
Bioassay data management systems are often based on relational databases which often lead to ambiguous, imprecise and inconsistent entries. To ensure that data is clean, harmonized and interoperable, ontology management is key (in addition to applying public standards).
Bringing SciBite’s unique combination of retrospective and prospective semantic enrichment tools to any bioassay platform means that the data held within it can be standardized and easily integrated with other sources, to make it machine-readable and ready for automated analysis. Here are some of the benefits of semantically enriched data:
Simplifying data integration makes it easier to gain a more holistic overview over all external and internal sources of data, whether it’s in relation to any given compound, target or disease of interest. All the associated activity is easily retrievable.
Ontology-based queriesSemantic enrichment makes it much easier to interrogate data on a deeper level by facilitating more complex, ontology-based questioning. It ensures that all the relevant data is found irrespective of the synonym or terminology used.
Third-party applicationBioassay data aside, SciBite can also apply semantic enrichment to internal and external gene expression data and other third-party sources, including patents and commercially available databases.
