Data

  • Base dir: resources_metadata/drug_knowledgebase/DrugBank/
  • Files:
    • full database.xml — rich fields: description, targets, interactions, categories, synonyms, groups
    • drugbank vocabulary.csv — lightweight: DrugBank ID, name, CAS, synonyms
  • Auto-select: prefers XML if present, falls back to vocabulary CSV
