Abstract

WikiPathways (https://www.wikipathways.org) is a biological pathway database known for its collaborative nature and open science approaches. With the core idea of the scientific community developing and curating biological knowledge in pathway models, WikiPathways lowers all barriers for accessing and using its content. Increasingly more content creators, initiatives, projects and tools have started using WikiPathways. Central in this growth and increased use of WikiPathways are the various communities that focus on particular subsets of molecular pathways such as for rare diseases and lipid metabolism. Knowledge from published pathway figures helps prioritize pathway development, using optical character and named entity recognition. We show the growth of WikiPathways over the last three years, highlight the new communities and collaborations of pathway authors and curators, and describe various technologies to connect to external resources and initiatives. The road toward a sustainable, community-driven pathway database goes through integration with other resources such as Wikidata and allowing more use, curation and redistribution of WikiPathways content.

WikiPathways：连接社区

 抽象的

WikiPathways (https://www.wikipathways.org) 是一个生物途径数据库，以其协作性质和开放科学方法而闻名。凭借科学界在路径模型中开发和管理生物知识的核心理念，WikiPathways 降低了访问和使用其内容的所有障碍。越来越多的内容创建者、倡议、项目和工具已经开始使用 WikiPathways。 WikiPathways 的增长和使用增加的核心是关注分子途径特定子集（例如罕见疾病和脂质代谢）的各个社区。使用光学特征和命名实体识别，从已发表的途径数据中获得的知识有助于优先考虑途径开发。我们展示了 WikiPathways 在过去三年中的发展，强调了新社区以及路径作者和策展人的合作，并描述了连接外部资源和计划的各种技术。通往可持续、社区驱动的路径数据库的道路是与维基数据等其他资源的集成，并允许更多地使用、管理和重新分发 WikiPathways 内容。
