Abstract :
Nowadays, the post-market assessment and monitoring of interactions amongst prescribed drugs and adverse events in the pharmacovigilance domain reveals previously unknown interactions. Involved stakeholders are realising that modern approaches, based on integrative data exploration environments, are vital to improve current drug research and development processes. In this manuscript we introduce a comprehensive pipeline for integrating large collections of annotated data, abstracting it to a Semantic Web environment, modelling it according to the nanopublications standard, and delivering straightforward access to collected knowledge.
