Abstract
Developments in our ability to integrate and analyse data held in existing heterogeneous data resources can lead to an increase in our understanding of biological function at all levels. However, correlating data from different data resources is still difficult. To address this, we shall build upon advanced database technology to develop a mediator which will integrate access to heterogeneous, distributed biological databases, while making use of existing search engines and indexes. To make it easier for scientists to access these data resources, we shall develop a network user-interface to facilitate multi-database querying. We shall also provide the ability to use constraints to cross-check data from different sources.
