Semantic MEDLINE Database (SemMedDB)
SemMedDB is a repository of semantic predications (subject-predicate-object triples) extracted from biomedical literature by SemRep, a natural language processing system. It contains over 130 million semantic predications extracted from more than 37 million PubMed citations, supporting biomedical knowledge discovery, literature-based discovery, and clinical applications.
