Semantically Integrating Biomedical Databases to Support Inference
نویسندگان
چکیده
Biomedical data integration currently exists as a “loose federation of bio-nations.” (Goble 2008) While work is being done to integrate data sources it often involves “‘semantic creep’ – timid, piecemeal and ad hoc adoption of parts of standards.” (Good 2006) Linking data across resources is necessary for building integrated systems (e.g. Belleau 2008, Ruttenberg 2009); however, linking the data without understanding the semantics of those links merely generates more data (Jain 2010). An integrated knowledge base is required for understanding biomedical systems by enabling queries over common biological representations.

Logic-Based Integration of Query Answering and Knowledge Discovery
There is currently great interest in integrating knowledge discovery research into mainstream database systems. Such an enterprise is nontrivial because knowledge discovery and database systems are rooted in different paradigms, therefore foundational work needs to be carried out and a candidate unified syntax and semantics needs to be proposed. Elsewhere we have indeed carried out such foundat...
متن کاملIntegrating Ontologies and Relational Data
In recent years, an increasing number of scientific and other domains have attempted to standardize their terminology and provide reasoning capabilities through ontologies, in order to facilitate data exchange. This has spurred research into Web-based languages, formalisms, and especially query systems based on ontologies. Yet we argue that DBMS techniques can be extended to provide many of the...
متن کاملA hybrid EEG-based emotion recognition approach using Wavelet Convolutional Neural Networks (WCNN) and support vector machine
Nowadays, deep learning and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have become widespread tools in many biomedical engineering studies. CNN is an end-to-end tool which makes processing procedure integrated, but in some situations, this processing tool requires to be fused with machine learning methods to be more accurate. In this paper, a hybrid approach based on deep features extracted from Wave...
متن کاملOrganising Knowledge of a Federated Database System to Support Multiple View Generation
In this paper a knowledge base structure to support multiple view generation over a federation of loosely-coupled heterogeneous databases available over a computer network is described. In such a federation user information requirements change and evolve as their awareness of the contents of the federation improves. This means that users need diierent integrating views if they are to realise th...
متن کاملAn Ontology Approach to Data Integration
The term “Federated Databases” refers to the data integration of distributed, autonomous and heterogeneous databases. However, a federation can also include information systems, not only databases. At integrating data, several issues must be addressed. Here, we focus on the problem of heterogeneity, more specifically on semantic heterogeneity – that is, problems rela ted to semantically equival...
