Analyzing Semantic Interoperability in Bioinformatic Database Networks?

چکیده
We consider the problem of analytically evaluating semantic interoperability in large-scale networks of schemas interconnected through pairwise schema mappings. Our heuristics are based on a graphtheoretic framework capturing important statistical properties of the graphs. We validate our heuristics on a real collection of interconnected bioinformatic databases registered with the Sequence Retrieval System (SRS). Furthermore, we derive and provide experimental evaluations of query propagation on weighted semantic networks, where weights model the quality of the various schema mappings in the network.

Graph-Based Analyses of Large-Scale Social Data
In this paper, we make an attempt at analyzing the semantic mediation layer of large-scale online networks in a holistic way using graph theoretic tools. We model Peer-to-Peer data networks as graphs, derive a necessary condition to foster semantic interoperability in the large in such graphs, and test our heuristics in the context of an existing bioinformatic portal with hundreds of different ...
متن کاملHospital information systems interoperability in Iran
Introduction: Interoperability is needed when the Hospital Information System (HIS) data should be combined and shared with different systems. This study was aimed to determine the semantic and technical interoperability of hospital information systems of Iran’s health care centers and propose guidelines to create and develop interoperability of these centers. Methods: This descriptive st...
متن کاملFrom bioinformatic web portals to semantically integrated Data Grid networks
We propose a semi-automated method for redeploying bioinformatic databases indexed in a Web portal as a decentralized, semantically integrated and service-oriented Data Grid. We generate peer-to-peer schema mappings leveraging on cross-referenced instances and instancebased schema matching algorithms. Analyzing real-world data extracted from an existing portal, we show how a rather trivial comb...
متن کاملToward an Architecture for Enhancing Semantic Interoperability Based on Enrichment of Geospatial Data Semantics
Semantic interoperability is needed to support meaningful data exchanges in distributed environments such as ad hoc networks of geospatial databases and geospatial web services. Even with the recent increasing popularity of ontologies to capture semantics of geospatial resources, semantics of geospatial data are often implicit or too weak to support meaningful exchanges. In this paper, we argue...
متن کاملReal Time Semantic Interoperability in Ad Hoc Networks of Geospatial Data Sources: Challenges, Achievements and Perspectives
Recent advances in geospatial technologies have made available large amount of geospatial data. Meanwhile, new developments in Internet and communication technologies created a shift from isolated geospatial databases to ad hoc networks of geospatial data sources, where data sources can join or leave the network, and form groups to share data and services. However, effective integration and sha...
