WDBQS: A Unified Access to Distant Databases Via a Simple Web-Tool
نویسندگان
چکیده
Within organisations, Information Systems are characterised by heterogeneity. The main management tools are different Relational and Object Oriented DataBase Management Systems. Therefore, variety, complexity and lack of integration make it difficult for casual users to query them. This paper presents WDBQS (Web DataBase Query System); a Web-interface for querying distant Relational and Object Oriented DataBases. This system, dedicated to casual users, proposes simple Web mechanisms to navigate through database schemas, build queries and display results.

Since 2004 the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) has provided access to a wide range of databases and analysis tools via Web Services interfaces. This comprises services to search across the databases available from the EMBL-EBI and to explore the network of cross-references present in the data (e.g. EB-eye), services to retrieve entry data in various data formats and to access the d...
متن کاملOntology Enabled Graphical Database Query Tool for End-Users
In this paper we show how semantic web technologies are used in a real application in the domain of national medical databases where an important technological gap between the legacy relation databases and OWL ontologies is bridged by the recently standardized UML profile for OWL. After data has been exported from multiple relational databases into a single shared RDF database structured accord...
