How DOE-BRIDGE Models Data: LinkML and Ontologies
DOE-BRIDGE connects data from independently run BER resources: JGI, EMSL, ESS-DIVE, KBase, and NMDC. Each resource keeps its own database and its own formats. DOE-BRIDGE adds a shared data model on top, so a query can span all of them.
This post explains how that data model is built: the schema language (LinkML), the ontology that names measured properties (BERVO), and two schema modules you can read and test today.
