Dynamic integration of biological data sources using the data concierge.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The ever-changing landscape of large-scale network environments and innovative biology technologies require dynamic mechanisms to rapidly integrate previously unknown bioinformatics sources at runtime. However, existing integration technologies lack sufficient flexibility to adapt to these changes, because the techniques used for integration are static, and sensitive to new or changing bioinformatics source implementations and evolutionary biologist requirements.

Methods

To address this challenge, in this paper we propose a new semantics-based adaptive middleware, the Data Concierge, which is able to dynamically integrate heterogeneous biological data sources without the need for wrappers. Along with the architecture necessary to facilitate dynamic integration, AP
