Brain-1.0 - Biomedical knowledge manipulation

The world of data informatics is seeing a cultural change, from a world of databases, such as Chembl, to one where data is more self-descriptive and ad hoc queryable - an evolution into knowledge-bases: The data will be organized around controlled dictionaries and ontologies (Semantic Web), more exposed to programmatic and web service infrastructures, and more robustly linked to other repositories (for a current example of a large nascent network of coordinated data repositories, see the ELIXIR project).

Brain is a library created to achieve such linkage: It can handle and query large biomedical knowledge-bases. The Brain library can also serve as a framework for users interested in Description Logic and Biology.
