The Building of BODHI, a Bio-diversity Database System
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have recently built a database system called BODHI, intended to store plant bio-diversity information. It is based on an object-oriented modeling approach and is developed completely around public-domain software. The unique feature of BODHI is that it seamlessly integrates diverse types of data, including taxonomic characteristics, spatial distributions, and genetic sequences, thereby spanning the entire range from molecular to organism-level information. A variety of sophisticated indexing strategies are incorporated to e ciently access the various types of data, and a rule-based query processor is employed for optimizing query execution. In this paper, we report on our experiences in building BODHI and on its performance characteristics for a representative set of queries.

BODHI: A Database Engine for Biological Applications
Biodiversity research generates and uses a variety of data spanning across diverse domains, including taxonomy, geo-spatial and genetic domains, which vary greatly in their structural features and complexities, query processing costs and storage volumes. In this thesis, we present BODHI, a database engine that seamlessly integrates these diverse types of data, spanning the range from molecular ...
متن کاملSeeds used for Bodhi beads in China
BACKGROUND Bodhi beads are a Buddhist prayer item made from seeds. Bodhi beads have a large and emerging market in China, and demand for the beads has particularly increased in Buddhism regions, especially Tibet. Many people have started to focus on and collect Bodhi beads and to develop a Bodhi bead culture. But no research has examined the source plants of Bodhi beads. Therefore, ethnobotanic...
