Method and apparatus for providing pharmaceutical classification

An apparatus comprising a processor configured to:

• receive an input associated with a phase of a pharmaceutical development cycle;
• perform a folksonomic tagging of the input to identify a target pharmaceutical compound, a target pharmacological effect, a target pharmacological parameter, or a combination thereof;
• construct a classification query based on the folksonomic tagging;
• initiate an application of the classification query to a pharmacological data set;
• and
• discover one or more linkages associated with the target pharmaceutical compound, the target pharmacological effect, the target pharmacological parameter, or a combination thereof based on a result of the classification query.

A system comprising:

• a pharmacological database configured to include a pharmacological data set;
• and
• a pharmacological classification platform configured to receive an input associated with a phase of a pharmaceutical development cycle;
• perform a folksonomic tagging of the input to identify a target pharmaceutical compound, a target pharmacological effect, a target pharmacological parameter, or a combination thereof;
• construct a classification query based on the folksonomic tagging;
• initiate an application of the classification query to a pharmacological data set;
• and discover one or more linkages associated with the target pharmaceutical compound, the target pharmacological effect, the target pharmacological parameter, or a combination thereof based on a result of the classification query.
