COVTriage

COVTriage integrates a COVID-19 application ontology with literature annotation to triage and link biomedical literature and core databases for interoperable COVID-19 data integration and retrieval.

Key Features:

• Application Ontology (COVoc): COVoc is a COVID-19 application ontology that enables navigation between biomedical literature and core databases and supports interoperability across ELIXIR resources.
• Data Integration: Integrates COVID-19 data into SIB Literature services and supports connections to other COVID-19 ontologies such as the Coronavirus Infectious Disease Ontology.
• Triage Service: Implements annotation processing to systematically search and annotate literature for predefined COVID-related aspects and provides daily updates.

Scientific Applications:

• Biomedical Literature Navigation: Links publications to databases to locate studies and datasets relevant to COVID-19 research.
• Interoperability Across Resources: Harmonizes ontology-based terms to enable integration of diverse data sources across ELIXIR and related resources.
• Research Support: Supports analyses of disease mechanisms, treatment evaluation, and vaccine development for COVID-19.

Methodology:

COVTriage employs annotation processing to search and extract information from biomedical literature and organizes results using the ontology-based COVoc framework to enable interoperability and database linking.
