Probabilistic Schema Covering

Quoc Viet Hung Nguyen, Thành Tâm Nguyên, Chi Thang Duong

Schema covering is the process of representing large and complex schemas by easily comprehensible common objects. This task is done by identifying a set of common concepts from a repository called concept repository and generating a cover to describe the s ...

SMART: A tool for analyzing and reconciling schema matching networks

Karl Aberer, Quoc Viet Hung Nguyen, Thành Tâm Nguyên, Zoltán Miklós, Tri Kurniawan Wijaya, Vình Tuàn Chàu

Schema matching supports data integration by establishing correspondences between the attributes of independently designed database schemas. In recent years, various tools for automatic pair-wise matching of schemas have been developed. Since the matching ...

Remarkably Divergent Regions Punctuate the Genome Assembly of the Caenorhabditis elegans Hawaiian Strain CB4856

Tobias Johannes Schmid, Roel Paulus Josephus Bevers

The Hawaiian strain (CB4856) of Caenorhabditis elegans is one of the most divergent from the canonical laboratory strain N2 and has been widely used in developmental, population, and evolutionary studies. To enhance the utility of the strain, we have gener ...

Reconciling Schema Matching Networks Through Crowdsourcing

Karl Aberer, Quoc Viet Hung Nguyen, Thành Tâm Nguyên, Zoltán Miklós

Schema matching is the process of establishing correspondences between the attributes of database schemas for data integration purposes. Although several automatic schema matching tools have been developed, their results are often incomplete or erroneous. ...

openBEB: open biological experiment browser for correlative measurements

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Sophie Roizard

Background: New experimental methods must be developed to study interaction networks in systems biology. To reduce biological noise, individual subjects, such as single cells, should be analyzed using high throughput approaches. The measurement of several ...

Pattern detection for conceptual schema recovery in data-intensive systems

Gianluigi Viscusi

In this paper, an approach for information systems reverse engineering is proposed and applied. The aim is to support a unified perspective to the reverse engineering process of both data and software. At the state of the art, indeed, many methods, techniq ...
