Standards

WURCS

A text representation for glycan structures aimed for use in the Semantic Web.

GlycoRDF

A standard ontology for RDFizing glycomics data (glycan structures, publications, experimental data, and source).

GlycoCoO

A standard ontology for RDFizing glycoconjugate data (glycoproteins/glycolipids, glycan abundance ratios, sample information, diseases, publication information, etc.)

Repositories

The glycan structure repository GlyTouCan

assigning accession numbers to glycans.

The glyco(proteo)mics repository GlycoPOST

stores mass spectrometry data obtained from glyco(proteo)mics related experiments.

Data Resources

All data in GlyCosmos are stored using Semantic Web technologies, enabling easier integration with life science data.
