The Amine System Project: Systems Biology in Practice

  • Chapter
Computational Intelligence in Bioinformatics

Summary

In this chapter we present an architecture for the development of Semantic Web applications, and the way it is applied to build an application for Systems Biology. Our working plan is designed to built an ontology-based system with connected biomodules that could be globally analysed, as far as possible. Supported by the advantages of the Semantic Web, we can keep the objective to work on the way to obtain an automated form to integrate both information and tools in our system.
