An extensible network query unification system for biological databases
Database federation enables biological researchers to utilize resources more effectively, creating an environment in which the researcher can query multiple data sources without spending time learning new query mechanisms or issuing redundant queries which need to be integrated. Several mechanisms exist to federate databases. The ENQUire system is a network database federation system which uses...
متن کاملRor: Multimedia Query Processing in Extensible Databases
The mi Ror project investigates the implications of multimedia information retrieval on database design. We assume a modern extensible database system with extensions for feature based search techniques. The multimedia query processor has to bridge the gap between the user’s high level information need and the search techniques available in the database. We therefore propose an iterative query ...
متن کاملA Knowledge-Based Query System for Biological Databases
In more than one decade, genomic research produced a huge amount of experimental data. Although these data are usually freely available on the World Wide Web, accessing them in a consistent and fruitful way is not always an easy task. One of the main causes of this problem can be recognized in the lack of user interfaces that are sufficiently flexible and, at the same time, highly interactive a...
متن کاملAn advanced web query interface for biological databases
Although most web-based biological databases (DBs) offer some type of web-based form to allow users to author DB queries, these query forms are quite restricted in the complexity of DB queries that they can formulate. They can typically query only one DB, and can query only a single type of object at a time (e.g. genes) with no possible interaction between the objects--that is, in SQL parlance,...
متن کاملAdvanced Query Mechanisms for Biological Databases
Existing query interfaces for biological databases are either based on fixed forms or textual query languages. Users of a fixed form-based query interface are limited to performing some pre-defined queries providing a fixed view of the underlying database, while users of a free text query language-based interface have to understand the underlying data models, specific query languages and applic...
