B-Net
A schema for representing detailed biochemical knowledge
B-Net is an open source database schema that allows for a rather detailed representation of biochemistry. The aims of
B-Net are to represent knowledge with minimal human annotation, instead making use of the relational model to represent connections between biochemical entities.
B-Net also provides means for annotating each biochemical entity and interaction with the type of evidence that led to that knowledge.
B-Net was developed from 2002-2007 by: Bharat Mehrotra, Xing Jing Li, Aejaaz Kamal, Olga Brazhnik, Stefan Hoops, Neil Swainston, and Pedro Mendes.
We have a detailed description of the
