Intelligent Data Gathering for Bioinformatics

Update: merged with ConceptBrowser from Sérgio Matos.

New application that will search results for user submitted queries in various search engines (Google, Yahoo, Bing…).

A map is built from the results, showing relations between pages, what the pages contain, what the pages refers to… and then, show information about the pages in an outstanding workspace.

For instance, searching for BRCA2 in Google provides an immense amount of information that cannot be ignored: wiki pages, uniprot, genome.gov… If we could organize this information in a coherent manner, it could mean something in bioinformatics. Moreover, we can predefine a set of “known links” and offer more information about these links. If a link points to uniprot, we could provide a bigger set of related data or enable data expansion from that concept on.
