Sorry about that.

mediKanren's source code is under MIT license, and is on GitHub. Alas, the knowledge graphs we use for mediKanren aren't produced by us, and often have very complex licenses (one KG might include knowledge from 80 or 100 databases, each with a different license). As a result, we can't just release the KGs that are needed to actually use mediKanren. Also, creating high-quality queries that take into account all the nuances and quirks of the KGs is tricky, and changes as the KGs and the Biolink standard evolve. As a result, mediKanren requires some expertise to use effectively, along with access to the KGs.

An application that uses mediKanren as a back-end (along with other reasoners) is the NIH NCATS Biomedical Data Translator:

Please keep in mind that both Translator and mediKanren are designed for researchers and for biomedical research, not for patient care or treatment recommendations.

It's surprisingly reassuring to realize it wasn't actually my fault that I couldn't figure it out. Thanks for explaining! I'll look into Translator and see if I can get anywhere that way.
