Abstract
MOTIVATION: DisGeNET-RDF makes available knowledge on the genetic basis of human diseases in the Semantic Web (SW). Gene-disease associations (GDAs) and their provenance metadata are published as human-readable and machine-processable web resources. The information on GDAs included in DisGeNET-RDF is interlinked to other biomedical databases to support the development of bioinformatics approaches for translational research through evidence-based exploitation of a rich and fully interconnected Linked Open Data (LOD).
