Biological Data Integration Using Virtual Database


     

   Subscribe/Renew Journal


Biological data integration is considered to be one the most important and challenging tasks in bioinformatics. The scientific achievements greatly depend on the integrated view of largely diverse set of data. Biological data reside in hundreds of database and there is no single database providing an integrated view of data. It greatly invokes the need of data integration. Though they are different approaches for data integration like data warehouse, federation, webservices; each has its own pros and cons and challenges of implementation. In this research paper, we have proposed a framework using virtual database to integrate different biological data sources.

Abstract


Biological data integration is considered to be one the most important and challenging tasks in bioinformatics. The scientific achievements greatly depend on the integrated view of largely diverse set of data. Biological data reside in hundreds of database and there is no single database providing an integrated view of data. It greatly invokes the need of data integration. Though they are different approaches for data integration like data warehouse, federation, webservices; each has its own pros and cons and challenges of implementation. In this research paper, we have proposed a framework using virtual database to integrate different biological data sources.
