DISQOVER API
Programmatic access to harmonized life sciences knowledge graphs, enabling advanced queries, automation, and AI-driven workflows at scale.
Overview
The DISQOVER API, developed by ONTOFORCE, provides programmatic access to the DISQOVER Knowledge Graph — a harmonized, connected repository of life sciences data. It is designed for R&D teams, data scientists, developers, and integrators who need to embed trusted biomedical knowledge directly into their tools, scripts, models, dashboards, and AI-driven workflows at scale.
Modern R&D pipelines depend on automation, reproducibility, and high-quality structured data. The DISQOVER API addresses the challenge of fragmented, inconsistently modeled biomedical data by offering direct, structured access to a unified knowledge graph, enabling advanced queries, automated workflows, and seamless integration with internal platforms and AI systems.
Advanced Graph Queries and Search
- Run semantic queries with full knowledge graph traversal
- Execute synonym-expanded search to surface related concepts
- Retrieve linked data programmatically across the knowledge graph
UI-to-API Continuity
- Any query built or saved in DISQOVER Explore can be executed directly through the API
- Ensures consistency and reproducibility when transitioning from manual exploration to automation
- Eliminates rework when moving queries into automated pipelines
AI and Analytics Pipeline Integration
- Feed harmonized, structured results directly into machine learning models and AI agents
- Connect to dashboards, BI systems, and LLM pipelines
- Supports custom internal tools and data science workflows
Workflow Orchestration
- Trigger workflows to update dashboards and refresh internal knowledge graphs
- Automate hypothesis exploration and scheduled analyses
- All orchestration capabilities are powered through the API
Full Provenance and Traceability
- Every result includes complete source metadata
- Users always know exactly where their data originates
- Enables the development of AI applications grounded in fully traceable, trusted knowledge
Secure and Scalable Access
- Role-based access control and secure token authentication
- Scalable performance suitable for teams of any size
- Supports IT, R&D, and data science teams across organizations
AI Agent Integration via MCP
- Supports Model Context Protocol (MCP)-based integrations for connecting intelligent chatbots and agents to trusted life sciences knowledge
- Responses are grounded in linked data with full provenance, enabling reliable reasoning beyond unstructured text
- Structured tool calls and responses flow between AI agents and the DISQOVER Knowledge Graph, producing grounded, verifiable answers linked to cited sources
API Ecosystem and Connectivity
- REST API with standard HTTP endpoints for querying, searching, and retrieving entities from the knowledge graph
- MCP integration for grounding AI agents and LLM applications in verified data
- Compatible with a wide range of platforms including Python, R, Jupyter, Tableau, Power BI, Qlik, Domino, Google Colab, and many more
- Designed to plug directly into existing enterprise stacks for developers, data scientists, and integrators
The DISQOVER API is built by ONTOFORCE, a company focused on helping life sciences and pharmaceutical organizations unlock hidden insights from data using knowledge graph technology. The API supports enterprise-grade deployment with secure access controls and is ready for integration into complex, large-scale R&D and data science ecosystems.
