Talk Outline • Challenge of integrating biological data • Federations vs warehouses • GUS/RAD - warehouse approach • K2 - connecting to other systems
Challenge of Integrating Biological Data • Many sources of different types • Different types of data • Biological sequence (DNA, RNA, protein) • Gene expression • Structure • Etc… • Different representations of data • Flat file • Relational • Object-oriented • Etc… • Imposing semantics of biology • Genes and RNAs and Proteins are related • But may have different names • Biology is context dependent

Why Bother to Integrate? Remember the fable of the blind men and the elephant! http://www.noogenesis.com/pineapple/blind_men_elephant.html
Federations vs Warehouses • Federations • Link to everybody • Always current • Generally stuck with data as is • Warehouses • Bring everything in house • Can cleanse and add value to integrated data • Staying up to date Davidson et al. IBM Systems Journal 2001
GUS/RAD - Warehouse Approach • Gene Discovery • EST analysis • Genomic sequence analysis • Gene Regulation • Microarray analysis • Promoter/ regulatory region analysis • Biological data representation • Data integration • Ontology
