Abstract

We present a methodology and a corresponding system to bridge the gap between prioritization tools with fixed target and unrestricted semantic queries. We describe the advantages of an intermediate level of networks of similarities and relevances: (1) it is derived from raw, linked data (2) it ensures efficient inference over partial, inconsistent and noisy cross-domain, cross-species linked open data, (3) preserved transparency and decomposability of the inference allows semantic filters and preferences to control and focus of the inference, (4) high-dimensional, weakly significant evidences, such as overall summary statistics could also be used in the inference, (5) quantitative and rank based inference primitives can be defined, and (6) queries are unrestricted, e.g. prioritized variables, and (7) it allows wider access for non-technical experts. We provide a step-by-step guide for the methodology using a macular degeneration model, including drug, target and disease domains. The system and the model presented in the paper are available at bioinformatics.mit.bme.hu/QSF.
