Biopragmatics

This post is evolving from a reading list to a review of the academic papers published that are either about or use the Biological Expression Language (BEL).

Everyone’s talking about biomedical ontologies!

While many researchers have a pathway or pathology of interest, their first time curating content in the Biological Expression Language (BEL) may seem intimidating.

The company and community that surround the Biological Expression Language (BEL) are enigmatic, to say the least.

As scientists, we place huge importance on the communication of our results.

On top the issue of resolving identifiers to their names, the bioinformatics community has a hard time figuring out when two identifiers from different databases are equivalent.

We have a big problem in the bioinformatics community with namespaces, identifiers, and names.

A few months ago, the question was posed on science Twitter: “How many people have published on ChemRxiv?”

We’ve all been there.

The other day I saw a tweet lamenting the drag that is literature review during preparation for writing your thesis.

How many molecular biology papers have you read today?

In language, semantics describe the names and meanings of words.
