The Natural Language Interface for Model Entity Discovery in Biosimulation Model Repositories(NLIMED) was developed by Yuda Munarko to convert natural language queries into the SPARQL syntax which is typically used to search semantic annotations encoded in RDF. The SPARQL syntax is complex and rigid, making it difficult to understand and use for many modeling users interested in searching through RDF annotations. Thus far, NLIMED can be used to query the Physiome Model Repository (PMF) and the BioModels database and is likely useful for other databases using RDF.
