Using Semantic Web Technologies to Reproduce a Pharmacovigilance Case Study
Year: 2013
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: We provide a detailed report of a reproduction study of a paper published in \nthe International Journal of Medical Sciences (IJMS). We first use the PROV-O \nontology to model our reconstruction of the computational workflow of the \noriginal experiment and to systematically explicate all information that is \nneeded for an reproduction study. We then identify which part of the required \ninformation is published in the IJMS paper and what part is missing. We then \ndiscuss our reproduction of this workflow, following the original as much as \npossible. Again, we use PROV-O to precisely define our version of the \nworkflow, including our version of the information that was missing in the \nIJMS paper of the study. Finally, we generalize from the specific cased \ndescribed in the original paper by providing a web service that allows mining \nfor arbitrary drug-adverse event pairs
