This workflow creates a query string from the query term using Martijn Schuemie's synonym service. The service is limited to proteins, enzymes and genes. An input query that is a boolean string will be split and processed, but the boolean logic of the input query will be lost. org.embl.ebi.escience.scuflworkers.java.FlattenList org.embl.ebi.escience.scuflworkers.java.FlattenList import java.util.*; String synstring="\"" + query_term + "\""; String syn; Iterator iterator = synonymlist.iterator(); while ( iterator.hasNext() ) { synstring = synstring + " OR "; syn = ((String) iterator.next()); synstring = synstring + "\"" + syn + "\""; } new_query = synstring; synonymlist query_term new_query http://rdf.adaptivedisclosure.org/~marco/BioAID/Public/Workflows/UtilityWorkflows/Split_query_string_MR3.xml Protein synonym service by Martijn Schuemie, Erasmus Medical Centre, University of Rotterdam, The Netherlands. http://aida.science.uva.nl:8888/axis/SynsetServer.jws?wsdl getSynsets Query term without quotes, only synonyms of proteins, enzymes and genes will be returned.
