About

ChEMBL is medicinal chemistry database by the team of dr. J. Overington at the EBI.

http://www.ebi.ac.uk/chembl/

It is detailed in this paper (doi:10.1093/nar/gkt1031):

http://nar.oxfordjournals.org/content/42/D1/D1083

This project develops, releases, and hosts a RDF version of ChEMBL, independent from the ChEMBL team who make their own RDF version.

The main SPARQL end point is available from Uppsala University at:

http://rdf.farmbio.uu.se/chembl/sparql

Or as SNORQL at:

http://rdf.farmbio.uu.se/chembl/snorql

Additionally, the data is available as Linked Data via LinkedChemistry.info:

Egon Willighagen, Peter Ansell

These scripts were tested against version 13 of ChEMBL, as downloaded from:

ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/chembl/releases/chembl_13/

Requirements

ChEMBL 13, OpenRDF (aka Sesame), SLF4J, and the MySQL JDBC plugin.

Installation

For PHP the MySQL server user and password are configured in a file called like mysqli.ini, for example on Debian:

/etc/php5/conf.d/20-mysqli.ini

The scripts expect a script only readble by the server software called vars.properties, with content like:

<?php

$version = '13';
$rooturi = 'http://data.kasabi.com/dataset/chembl-rdf/' . $version . '/';

$db = 'chembl_' . $version;
$user = 'user';
$pwd = 'secret';

// use the next line to limit the output 
// $limit = ' LIMIT 5';
$limit = '';

?>

to access the MySQL database with the ChEMBL content.
