Context-Sensitive Clinical Data Integration

چکیده
Current methods for data integration are as difficult to use as they are powerful. Motivated by our work with clinical data and the people who analyze it, we present two components that allow non-technical users that are domain experts to create and reuse complex data integration processes. The GUAVA (GUI As View Apparatus) component enables data analysts to make informed data integration decisions based on detailed accounts of the user interface that was used to generate the data. The MultiClass component allows analysts to revisit decisions made for prior studies and reuse them or not each time the data is used. We describe these two components with examples where a warehouse of clinical data is used to support research studies. We describe the state of our implementation and why we believe the two components can be automatically translated into ETL workflows.

متن کاملContext-sensitive data integration and prediction of biological networks
MOTIVATION Several recent methods have addressed the problem of heterogeneous data integration and network prediction by modeling the noise inherent in high-throughput genomic datasets, which can dramatically improve specificity and sensitivity and allow the robust integration of datasets with heterogeneous properties. However, experimental technologies capture different biological processes wi...
متن کاملContributions to Personalizable Knowledge Integration
Inconsistency and partial information is the norm in knowledge bases used in many real world applications that support, among other things, human decision making processes. In this work we argue that the management of this kind of data needs to be context-sensitive, creating a synergy with the user to build useful, flexible data management systems.

متن کاملIntegration and Reduction of Microarray Gene Expressions Using an Information Theory Approach
The DNA microarray is an important technique that allows researchers to analyze many gene expression data in parallel. Although the data can be more significant if they come out of separate experiments, one of the most challenging phases in the microarray context is the integration of separate expression level datasets that have gathered through different techniques. In this paper, we prese...
