This is a series of two posts repeating some content I wrote up back in the Bioclipse days (see also this Scholia page). They both deal with something we were facing: restructuring of version control repositories, while actually keeping the history. For example, you may want to copy or move code from one repository to another.
A figure from the article, outlining the idea of using SPARQL queries to extract data from the open knowledge base. As a reader of my blog, you know I have been doing quite some research where Wikidata has some role. I am preparing a paper on the work I have done around chemicals in Wikidata, based on what I presented at the ICCS with a poster.

In December I reported about Groovy code to create nanopublications . This has been running for some time now, extracting nanopubs that assert that some metabolite is found in some species. I send the resulting nanopubs to Tobias Kuhn , to populate his Growing Resource of Provenance-Centric Scientific Linked Data (doi:10.1109/eScience.2018.00024, PDF).
Yesterday, I struggled some with creating nanopublications with Groovy. My first attempt was an utter failure, but then I discovered Thomas Kuhn’s NanopubCreator and it was downhill from there.
My research is into abstract representation of chemical information, important for other research to be performed. Indeed, my work is generally reused, but knowing which research fields my work is used in, or which societal problems it is helping solve, is not easily retrieved or determined.
Found my way back to my room a few kilometers from the San Francisco city center, after a third day at the WikiPathways 2018 Summit at the Gladstone Institutes in Mission Bay, celebrating 10 years of the project, which I only joined some six and a half years ago. The Summit was awesome and the whole trip was awesome. The flight was long, with a stop in Seattle.

There was a lot of Open Science news this week.
