Scientific OLAP for the Biotech Domain
نویسنده
چکیده
On-line analysis of clinical study data has not benefited from recent advances in OLAP technologies. We examine the analysis requirements posed by the biotech domain that are not met by traditional OLAP. To accommodate these new requirements, we propose the concept of Scientific OLAP which applies more broadly to data analysis in controlled scientific experiments. We describe our experience implementing such a system for the support of biomarker discovery and we identify some key challenges that must be overcome before OLAP can be widely adopted in the biotech industry.

Scientific big data analytics challenges at large scale
In many domains such as life sciences, climate, and astrophysics, scientific data is often n-dimensional and requires tools that support specialized data types and primitives if it is to be properly stored, accessed, analyzed and visualized [5]. The n-dimensionality of scientific datasets, and their data cube abstraction, leads to a need for On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP)-like primitives ...
متن کاملExpressing OLAP Preferences
Multidimensional databases play a relevant role in statistical and scientific applications, as well as in business intelligence systems. Their users express complex OLAP queries, often returning huge volumes of facts, sometimes providing little or no information. Thus, expressing preferences could be highly valuable in this domain. The OLAP domain is representative of an unexplored class of pre...
متن کاملHighly regulated but can’t be certified as sustainable. Responsible use principles are bridging the gap for biotech trees
Biotech trees are some of the most heavily regulated plants in the world, yet no forest management system certifies the use of them as sustainable. The Responsible Use: Biotech Tree Principles are the first, and only, set of practices designed specifically for the long-term stewardship of biotech trees. These Principles may serve as a framework that certification systems can use when considerin...

In this paper, the system bgMath/OLAP for warehousing and online analytical processing bibliographic data is proposed. The implemented system can be useful for the users maintaining their electronic libraries with publications in order to monitoring, evaluating and comparing the scientific development of particular researchers, entire research groups, certain scientific fields and problems.
متن کاملآیا مقالات علمی در حوزه سلامت به نسبت حجم مشکلات موجود منتشر میشوند؟
One of the most important issues in studying scientific published articles within the health domain is to determine whether scientific articles are published based on the bulk of the existing problems. Unfortunately, the results of the carried out studies have highlighted that in certain situations the existing problems within the health domain are not investigated based on their dimension and ...
