Thirty years and millions of dollars worth of pesticide registration toxicity studies, historically stored as hardcopy and scanned documents, have been digitized into highly standardized and structured toxicity data within the Toxicity Reference Database (ToxRefDB). Toxicity-based classifications of chemicals were performed as a model application of ToxRefDB. These endpoints will ultimately provide the anchoring toxicity information for the development of predictive models and biological signatures utilizing in vitro assay data. Utilizing query and structured data mining approaches, toxicity profiles were uniformly generated for greater than 300 chemicals. Based on observation rate, species concordance and regulatory relevance, individual and aggregated effects have been selected to classify the chemicals providing a set of predictable endpoints. ToxRefDB exhibits the utility of transforming unstructured toxicity data into structured data and, furthermore, into computable outputs, and serves as a model for applying such data to address modern toxicological problems.
