resolvable WikiPathways RDF IRIs

[egonw]

Currently, the WikiPathways RDF resource IRIs are based on identifiers.org. While that is a useful intereoperability feature, it also makes our data not linked data, where doing a HTTP request on the IRI returns you RDF about the resource with that IRI.

Proposal

Resolvable IRIs

• replace IRIs patterns for the following resource types to start with http://rdf.wikipathways.org
  • Pathway
  • GeneProduct
  • Rna
  • Protein
  • Metabolite
  • Complex
  • Interaction

This list is taken to reflect things that can have identifiers and (BridgeDb-based) links out.

Implementing the resolving

• Apache/Nginx server that hosts rdf.wikipathways.org needs to recognize the new IRIs
• the IRI returns RDF:
  • the RDF is created by running a DESCRIBE against SPARQL endpoint
• the IRI returns HTML:
  • for WikiPathways IRIs it would redirect to the wikipathways.org page
  • for other items it would show useful info, optional, and can be done later on.
    • maybe redirect to Scholia?
