Today, object-oriented requirements specifications typically combine a scenario (or use case) model and a class model for expressing functional requirements. With any such combination, the problem of consistency between these two models arises. In this paper, we present a lightweight approach to consistency between a scenario model and a class model. We assume semi-formal, loosely coupled model...

XREFdb supports the investigation of protein function in the context of information available through work in multiple organisms. In addition to facilitating the association of functional data among known genes from multiple organisms, XREFdb has developed strategies that provide access to information associated with as-yet unstudied genes. The database organizes protein similarity and genetic ...

This paper describes a method for using new customer data integration and customer recognition technologies that have been developed in the private sector to solve the problem of anonymous entity resolution across multiple, non-shared data stores held in government agencies. In the method described, new commercial technologies that link records using anonymous tokens and encoded links allow ind...

Various ideas of data have emerged, expressed in practice through distinct vocabularies of data-related terms. This article develops a six-category taxonomy of these vocabularies, and illustrates how their terms are utilized in texts which relate to geographic information systems (GIS) in general, and to the HYDRA5 water catchment modeling system developed for the Sydney Water Corporation in pa...

The relationship between per capita income and a number of pollution indicators has been found to display an inverted U-shaped or downward-sloping pattern. Corruption may affect this relationship in two distinct ways: by raising pollution at given income levels (direct effect) and by reducing per capita income (indirect effect). The total effect is ambiguous a priori. Using cross section data f...

Supramolecular analytical chemistry has emerged as a new discipline at the interface of supramolecular and analytical chemistry. It focuses on analytical applications of molecular recognition and self-assembly. One of the important outcomes of the supramolecular analytical chemistry is the understanding of molecular aspects of sensor design, synthesis and binding studies of sensors while using ...

Cell lines are crucial to study molecular signatures and pathways, and are widely used in the NIH Common Fund LINCS project. The Cell Line Ontology (CLO) is a communitybased ontology representing and classifying cell lines from different resources. To better serve the LINCS research community, from the LINCS Data Portal and ChEMBL, we identified 1,097 LINCS cell lines, among which 717 cell line...
