Discovering Information from an Integrated Graph Database

چکیده
The information explosion in science has become a different problem, not the sheer amount per se, but the multiplicity and heterogeneity of massive sets of data sources. Relations mined from these heterogeneous sources, namely texts, database records, and ontologies have been mapped to Resource Description Framework (RDF) triples in an integrated database. The subject and object resources are expressed as references to concepts in a biomedical ontology consisting of the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS), UniProt and EntrezGene and for the predicate resource to a predicate thesaurus. All RDF triples have been stored in a graph database, including provenance. For evaluation we used an actual formal PRISMA literature study identifying 61 cerebral spinal fluid biomarkers and 200 blood biomarkers for migraine. These biomarkers sets could be retrieved with weighted mean average precision values of 0.32 and 0.59, respectively, and can be used as a first reference for further refinements.

An Effective Path-aware Approach for Keyword Search over Data Graphs
Abstract—Keyword Search is known as a user-friendly alternative for structured languages to retrieve information from graph-structured data. Efficient retrieving of relevant answers to a keyword query and effective ranking of these answers according to their relevance are two main challenges in the keyword search over graph-structured data. In this paper, a novel scoring function is proposed, w...
متن کاملTowards a Semantic Clinical Data Warehouse: A Case Study of Discovering Similar Genes
Physicians nowadays have to consider a diverse range of data sources when treating a patient. Semantic clinical data warehouses allow to easily add new data and to pro-actively help the physician making sense of the data. In this work-in-progress paper we investigate an approach of using Linked Data as the access mechanism and a graph database for storage and query processing. We describe lesso...

Introduction: Social network analysis is an analytical method based on graph theories that identifies relationships between individuals or factors to analyze the social structures resulted from those relationships. The objective of this study was to analyze co-authorship and co-word networks based on scientometric indicators and centrality measures in the studies on multiple atrophy system dise...
متن کاملAn Integrated DEA and Data Mining Approach for Performance Assessment
This paper presents a data envelopment analysis (DEA) model combined with Bootstrapping to assess performance of one of the Data mining Algorithms. We applied a two-step process for performance productivity analysis of insurance branches within a case study. First, using a DEA model, the study analyzes the productivity of eighteen decision-making units (DMUs). Using a Malmquist index, DEA deter...
