Roadmap

What's here, and what's coming.

A living map of POPPy — what you can use today, what we're building, and where we're headed. It doubles as our own tracker.

Data & coverage

Medicinal plants
~45,000 taxa, validated against NCBI Taxonomy (Viridiplantae).
Available
Phytochemicals
~185,000 plant-associated compounds with structures and properties.
Available
Protein targets
1,656 molecular targets, linked to the compounds that act on them.
Available
Clinical-trial evidence
2,400+ plant- and ingredient-trial associations.
Available
Literature evidence
Scientific papers linked by DOI to compounds and plants.
In progress
Medicinal fungi

Ontology & interoperability

FAIR knowledge graph
A reasoning-ready RDF/OWL ontology, not a flat table.
Available
Per-fact provenance
Source and citation attached to facts, where available.
Available
NCBI Taxonomy alignment
Each plant linked to its NCBI taxon identifier.
Available
ChEBI alignment
Phytochemical classes mapped to ChEBI, with slim subtree modules.
In progress
Multiomic gene-target layer
Targets resolved to NCBI Gene, with parallel gene edges.
In progress
Standards alignment
Mappings to the Relation Ontology, SPAR, NCIT, and the Gene Ontology.
Planned
Persistent resolvable IRIs
Stable, dereferenceable identifiers for every entity.

Download & access

Full ontology
The complete enriched graph as RDF/XML (hosted on Box).
Available
Schema
The empty TBox — classes, properties, and axioms.
Available
Custom slices
Build filtered CSV / JSON-LD slices in your browser — no server.
Available
RDF / Turtle / OWL slices
Custom slices in the full set of RDF serializations.
Planned
Target, effect & citation slices
Extend the slice builder beyond plants and compounds.
