Abstract: Since the Linked Data project arises,abundant open linked data have been published on the semantic Web,which contain plentiful biological pathway datasets.To make these data be utilized effectively for the biological scientists,this paper conducted the research on heterogeneous biological pathway data visualization system based on Linked Data,proposed a biological pathway visualization model,and then designed visualization layout strategies.After that,this paper utilized the dynamic mapping of identifiers to implement the browsing of heterogeneous biological pathway data,and finally developed a biological pathway visualization system called BioPW+.Primarily,BioPW+ retrieves the essential information with respect to the biological pathway by means of the semantic Web technologies and SPARQL queries.Then,through the Open PHACTS platform,it acquires the detailed information of the pathway.Finally,it illustrates the biological pathway on the Web page by employing the force-directed layout and Sankey layout,and furnishes various interoperable functions.Not like the existing tools that only retrieve data from single data source,BioPW+ is based on the Linked Data,and can elaborate the biological pathways with their relevant biochemical information from multiple datasets,saving large amounts of time and improving the data integrity.

Key words: Biological pathway, Linked Data, Semantic Web, Visualization
