    Journal: Bioinformatics; 2005 Jan 15; 21(2):199-207. PubMed ID: 15308539.
    Abstract:
    UNLABELLED: BioLingua is an interactive, web-based programming environment that enables biologists to analyze biological systems by combining knowledge and data through direct end-user programming. BioLingua embeds a mature symbolic programming language in a frame-based knowledge environment, integrating genomic and pathway knowledge about a class of similar organisms. The BioLingua language provides interfaces to numerous state-of-the-art bioinformatic tools, making these available as an integrated package through the novel use of web-based programmability and an integrated Wiki-based community code and data store. The pilot instantiation of BioLingua, which has been developed in collaboration with several cyanobacteriologists, integrates knowledge about a subset of cyanobacteria with the Gene Ontology, KEGG and BioCyc knowledge bases. We introduce the BioLingua concept, architecture and language, and give several examples of its use in complex analyses.
