At the University of Aveiro Bioinformatics research group we have been developing a new framework to ease Semantic Web application deployment in the life sciences: COEUS. This platform provides a "Semantic Web in a box" package with all the tools required to launch custom information systems. 

During my stay in Leicester I analyzed some of the available tools and strategies to integrate existing systems in a Semantic Web environment. My accomplishments are reported in the attached document. Analyzed tools:

• OpenStructs
• Triplify
• D2RQ

There are also two application demos available:

During my Leicester stay I did a deep analysis on the integration of D2R in Molgenis, which resulted in a short report. This report highlights D2R setup and details some custom enhancements that should be added to D2R mappings in order to create a richer Semantic Web platform from Molgenis instances. All my experiments were performed using the Pheno-OM data model, with a SQL dump from Tomasz.

I've attached the report, a short presentation on the subject, and two D2R mapping files (an auto-generated and a customized) for the Pheno-OM data model.
