WikiDataScape

WikiDataScape is a Cytoscape app for interactive browsing of WikiData. Wikidata is a free and open knowledge base that can be read and edited by both humans and machines, and acts as central storage for structured data. There are several active WikiProjects that are dedicated to annotating biological entities. See: Gene Wiki or ProteinBoxBot.

The purpose of this app is for the query, navigation, and data discovery of linked data, with WikiData as the data source.
