Abstract
PHI-Base is a database that it is accessible through the web and contains a catalogue of experimentally verified pathogen-host interactions from fungal, oomycete and bacterial pathogens and animal, plant, fungal and insect hosts. In 2016, researchers from Centre for Plant Biotechnology and Genomics at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Spain, released a semantic-based version of part of this database (named Semantic PHI) focusing on those interactions where the affected host are plants. This semantic version was created and published using FAIR methodology and was available through a SPARQL endpoint. In this paper is presented a proof of concept done to create an interface for Semantic PHI-Base dataset. A web tool that allows interacting and visualizing the interactions contained in Semantic PHI database using an easy interface was created. This tool represents a case study of interacting and visualizing the knowledge contained within a semantic dataset allowing the use of such dataset by users with no expertise in semantic technologies.
