Abstract :
This paper proposes a framework based on the context of the Web data for interactions with different biological data resources so that a consolidated view of data can be achieved. A formal description of context of resources and their relationships have been described here using context graph. The context increases the interoperability by providing the description of the resources and the navigation plan for accessing the Web based databases. A higher level construct is developed to implement the context in RDF for Web interactions. The interaction among the resources is achieved by using a context based integration domain. The integration domain allows to navigate and execute the query plan within the resource databases.
