Data Translator: ARAGORN

Overview

Biological knowledge is increasingly standardized and made available through simple programming interfaces.  But how can scientists best consume that information, and use it to enhance their research?  ARAGORN (Autonomous Relay Agent for Generation of Ranked Networks) is a tool that assembles information relevant to a user query, and uses that information to synthesize well-supported answers.  ARAGORN is a component of the NCATS Data Translator, and is the evolution of the ROBOKOP knowledge-graph-based question-answering system.
