BACKGROUND: In recent years, the Resource Description Framework (RDF) and the
SPARQL query language have become more widely used in the area of cheminformatics
and bioinformatics databases. These technologies allow better interoperability of
various data sources and powerful searching facilities. However, we identified
several deficiencies that make usage of such RDF databases restrictive or
challenging for common users. RESULTS: We extended a SPARQL engine to be able to
use special procedures inside SPARQL queries. This allows the user to work with
data that cannot be simply precomputed and thus cannot be directly stored in the
database. We designed an algorithm that checks a query against data ontology to
identify possible user errors. This greatly improves query debugging. We also
introduced an approach to visualize retrieved data in a user-friendly way, based
on templates describing visualizations of resource classes. To integrate all of
our approaches, we developed a simple web application. CONCLUSIONS: Our system
was implemented successfully, and we demonstrated its usability on the ChEBI
database transformed into RDF form. To demonstrate procedure call functions, we
employed compound similarity searching based on OrChem. The application is
publicly available at https://bioinfo.uochb.cas.cz/projects/chemRDF.
