Polyglot Medicine Knowledge Graph
The Polyglot Medicine Knowledge Graph system is launched: https://kgraph.sg/polyglot.
This is a project to develop a database of Asian traditional and herbal medicines. Current database coverage is mainly on Chinese traditional medicines, expanding to Malay and Southeast Asian traditional medicines. The knowledge graph currently links the medicine names in the original and English languages, to alternative names and scientific names, to plant/animal parts they are made from, to literary and historical sources they were mentioned in, to geographic areas they were associated with, and to external database records with information on them. There are plans to link the medicines to pharmacological information later.
