• Development goals

Description

The BEL Framework is an open-source knowledge management tool for biological knowledge captured in BEL (Biological Expression Language). BEL and the BEL Framework together are known as OpenBEL. The framework is being reimagined with the help of RDF, graph databases, and a scalable architecture.

In this talk we will discuss the current goals, architecture, and RDF model ideas. A prototype demonstration is planned.
