DiShIn: Semantic Similarity Measures using Disjunctive Shared Information

Downloads

This software package provides the basic functions to start using semantic similarity measures directly from a rdf or owl file.

A web tool using this package is available at: http://labs.fc.ul.pt/dishin/

Package documentation: https://dishin.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

** NEW **

Reference:

INSTALLATION

Either clone this repository or install from pypi:

pip install ssmpy

If you use it from the shell, you need to install python3, sqlite3, rdflib and pandas:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-rdflib python3-pandas sqlite3

and then clone and enter the folder:

git clone https://github.com/lasigeBioTM/DiShIn.git
cd DiShIn

If you just have python2 or you cannot install packages, then create and use a lighter version of DiShIn:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lasigeBioTM/DiShIn/master/dishin.py | sed -e 's/import ssmpy/import ssm\nimport annotations/; s/ssmpy\.ssm\./ssm./g; s/ssmpy\./ssm./g; s/ssm.get_uniprot_annotations/annotations.get_uniprot_annotations/g' > dishin.py
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lasigeBioTM/DiShIn/master/ssmpy/ssm.py | sed 's/from ssmpy./# from ssmpy./' > ssm.py
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lasigeBioTM/DiShIn/master/ssmpy/annotations.py | sed 's/import ssmpy./import /; s/ssmpy./ssm./' > annotations.py

Note, this light version cannot create new databases.

USAGE:

You can use DiShIn as a command line tool with the dishin.py script of this repository:

python dishin.py <semanticbase>.db <term1> <term2>
python dishin.py <semanticbase>.[owl|rdf] <semanticbase>.db <name_prefix> <relation> <annotation_file>

or use the python functions directly:

>>> import ssmpy

You can find more usage examples at https://dishin.readthedocs.io/en/latest/other_examples.html.

Metals Example

To create the semantic base file (metals.db) from the metals.owl file:

python dishin.py metals.owl metals.db https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lasigeBioTM/ssm/master/metals.owl# http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#subClassOf metals.txt

The metals.txt contains the a list of occurrences. For example, the following contents has one occurrence for each term, except gold and silver with two occurrences.

gold
silver
gold
silver
copper
platinum
palladium
metal
coinage
precious

Now to calculate the similarity between copper and gold execute:

python dishin.py metals.db copper gold

Output:

Using the python function directly (first download metals.db and metals.txt from this repository):

>>> ssmpy.create_semantic_base("metals.owl", "metals.db", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lasigeBioTM/ssm/master/metals.owl#", "http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#subClassOf", "metals.txt")
>>> ssmpy.semantic_base("metals.db")
>>> e1 = ssmpy.get_id("copper")
>>> e2 = ssmpy.get_id("gold")
>>> ssmpy.ssm_resnik (e1,e2)
