Abstract
In the course of gene expression analysis, it is required to interpret data by referencing knowledge bases of genetics, pathways, diseases and drugs. However, because those external resources are often stored in distributed databases in various formats, it is hard for biomedical scientists to use them in combination. Semantic Web technologies are suitable for integration of those heterogeneous datasets using Resource Description Framework (RDF) and providing a faceted search interface. In this work, we report an application of semantic data integration with faceted search for interactive analysis of gene expression data of Alzheimer's disease. This framework can be easily extended for other biomedical domains.
