Two Challenges “metabolite” is a defined class that means (roughly) some instances of a particular chemical type (i.e. with the same chemical structure) are created by metabolic processes in a living organism of a given species Many metabolites, very flat classification Future: “metabolite of Rhododendron” is a “metabolite” Need simplified subset of NCBI Taxonomy: Only that subset for which we have metabolites for the species Reduce intermediary chains of single-parent single-child taxa Also, we use IPNI (International plant names index) where no NCBI Not exactly a biological roleNot a binary relationship
