Motivation As the number of public data resources continues to proliferate, identifying relevant datasets across heterogenous repositories is becoming critical to answering scientific questions. To help researchers navigate this data landscape, we developed Dug: a semantic search tool for biomedical datasets utilizing evidence-based relationships from curated knowledge graphs to find relevant datasets and explain why those results are returned. Results Developed through the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute’s (NHLBI) BioData Catalyst ecosystem, Dug has indexed more than 15 911 study variables from public datasets. On a manually curated search dataset, Dug’s total recall (total relevant results/total results) of 0.79 outperformed default Elasticsearch’s total recall of 0.76. When using synonyms or related concepts as search queries, Dug (0.36) far outperformed Elasticsearch (0.14) in terms of total recall with no significant loss in the precision of its top results. Availability and implementation Dug is freely available at https://github.com/helxplatform/dug. An example Dug deployment is also available for use at https://search.biodatacatalyst.renci.org/. Supplementary information Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online. |
