Pharmacoracle
Pharmacoracle - a REST API based on the OWLAPI
The Pharmacoracle contains OWL ontologies that are based on CPIC recommendations provided by PharmGKB, and which have been further curated to fit the needs of the Department of Pharmacology at Oslo University Hospital.
Queries to Pharmacoracle can be performed in the Manchester syntax. For each query we add a code word to indicate the relationship between our query and the desired answer (cf. the DL Query tab in the desktop version of Stanford's Protégé)
| Code word | Relationship |
|---|---|
| SubClasses | Get elements that contain the query (but not equivalent) |
| DirectSubClasses | Get only the SubClasses that are closest to the query |
| EquivalentClasses | Get only elements equivalent to the query |
| SuperClasses | Get elements that contain parts of the query (but not the entire query and not equivalent) |
| DirectSuperClasses | Get only the SuperClasses that are closest to the query |
