FAIRsharing record for: Biological Pathway eXchange

This FAIRsharing record describes: BioPAX is a standard language that aims to enable integration, exchange, visualization and analysis of biological pathway data. Specifically, BioPAX supports data exchange between pathway data groups and thus reduces the complexity of interchange between data formats by providing an accepted standard format for pathway data. By offering a standard, with well-defined semantics for pathway representation, BioPAX allows pathway databases and software to interact more efficiently. In addition, BioPAX enables the development of pathway visualization from databases and facilitates analysis of experimentally generated data through combination with prior knowledge. The BioPAX effort is coordinated closely with that of other pathway related standards initiatives namely; PSI-MI, SBML, CellML, and SBGN in order to deliver a compatible standard in the areas where they overlap.

本FAIRsharing记录描述：BioPAX（生物通路交换格式）是一种标准语言，旨在实现生物通路数据的整合、交换、可视化及分析。具体而言，BioPAX支持通路数据组之间的数据交换，通过提供公认的通路数据标准格式，降低了不同数据格式间交互的复杂性。通过提供具有明确定义的通路表示语义的标准，BioPAX使通路数据库与软件能够更高效地交互。此外，BioPAX支持从数据库生成通路可视化，并通过与先验知识结合，促进对实验生成数据的分析。BioPAX工作与其他通路相关标准倡议（即PSI-MI、SBML、CellML和SBGN）密切协调，旨在在重叠领域提供兼容标准。
