reasoning over biomedical objects linked in knowledge oriented pathways

ROBOKOP is an open-source, modular, knowledge graph (KG)–based system that includes several key components: a biomedical KG; a user interface and associated question-builder tool; a collection of harmonized and interoperable knowledge sources, represented as KGs in a service called Automat and accessible via application programming interfaces; and a variety of supporting resources, including reasoning algorithms and tools to support deep exploration of the ROBOKOP KG and the Automat KGs. The ROBOKOP question-building tool allows users to construct queries, submit them to ROBOKOP, and receive scored-and-ranked answers that can be dynamically explored. The ROBOKOP Automat allows for programmatic access to the ROBOKOP KG and the Automat collection of harmonized biomedical KGs.
