Ingest Principles

Overview

The Monarch Knowledge Graph (KG) is built from a variety of data sources in the biomedical domain.
These data sources are "ingested" into the KG using a variety of tools and packages created by the Monarch Initiative team and our collaborators.
This page describes the principles that guide the ingestion process.

For details on the ingestion process, see this page.

General Principles

1. All ingests should have a stringent (defensive) filtering strategy.

2. Utilize Biolink profiles to inform the filtering of incoming ingests (ex. Phenio)

3. Use yaml to implement this

4. All nodes should have a category attached.
