There are currently two Biositemap APIs, each with a slightly different focus. These will eventually be merged into one. The following guides should help the user select which API implementation would be best for developing their application.
- Biositemap and BRO Java API
This Java API provides methods to author (create/update) and consume (read) biositemaps with an emphasis on biological concepts and ontologies. - Biositemap Reference Implementation Java API
This Java API provides methods to discover, aggregate and consume (query) biositemaps, with an emphasis on extensibility.
Both APIs use Jena for their underlying RDF implementation.
