CAM-KP (Causal Activity Models Knowledge Provider)
CAM-KP (Causal Activity Models Knowledge Provider) is a web service knowledge graph that integrates causal biological and chemical models from Gene Ontology, Reactome, and Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD) into a unified, semantically rich platform. It provides access to structured biomedical knowledge through SPARQL and TRAPI-compliant REST APIs, supporting hypothesis generation, drug discovery, and environmental health research.
