The foundry is where you customize and manage your knowledge graph schema. The foundry is the home page of the application and can be accessed at any time using the top application toolbar.
By default the knowledge graph is completely blank. To quickly get started you can load in an external data package. An external data pack is a set of standardized concepts, relationships and/ or objects preconfigured by the BioBox team. This data is derived from industry standard knowledge bases and consortiums such as OpenTargets, Reactome, UBERONon and more. Each data pack is versioned, and updated on a monthly basis.
To browse the available data packages, select the "External data package" tab. Here you will see a list of all preconfigured data packages.
To import a package, select the import button in the top right hand corner of the card. When you import a data package, all of the concepts and relationships listed in the preview card will automatically be added to your knowledge graph schema.
Some data packages have dependencies for concepts such as Genes and Diseases. This would require those concepts to be available in your knowledge graph prior to the import of the data package. When you hover over the import button you will be notified of any dependencies that need to be imported first.
The overview is where you will see a schematic diagram of all of the concepts and relationships within your graph.
The concepts tab displays all of the concepts within your graph and their hierarchy that were created by you or imported through a data pack. Think of concepts as overarching categories such as Drugs, Diseases and Pathways.
To create a concept you will have to provide a label (Name) and a description. If the concept is a subclass of another concept you can specify its parent concept.
Selecting a concept will open the side panel where you can see the information associated with each concept
To edit the concept and see the associated objects, select the open button located in the top right hand corner of the information panel.
To delete a concept select the trash icon located in the top right hand corner. This will remove the concept but will preserve the underlying objects within your graph
The properties tab displays all of the data properties within your knowledge graph.
The relationships tab displays all of the relationships within your graph that were created by you or were imported though a data pack.
Select "+ Relationship" and specify the name, description domain (concepts this relationship points from) and range (concepts this relationship points to).
Select "Edit Properties" and you will be able to add data properties to the relationship.
To delete a relationship select the trash icon located in the top right hand corner. This will remove the relationship but will preserve the concepts that the relationship points to and from.
The Data Upload tab is where you can upload your internal data formatted as a data package. A detailed explanation .
