It implements a custom (non-standard) JSON-LD datamodel matching that of NCBO bioportal and adds additional annotation capabilities matching additional post-processing annotations implemented in the proxy, as well as input/output capabilities from and to various formats.

• in the command line, execute mvn eclipse:eclipse
