Abstract
Aliases are used to integrate biological/chemical databases, each of which includes records for a plurality of biological/chemical objects. A set of records is identified in the biological/chemical databases that relates to a single biological/chemical object. An entity is established in a data structure that corresponds to the single biological/chemical object. The entity includes aliases, a respective one of which refers to a respective record in the set of records in the biological/chemical databases. The entities are linked in an entity-relationship model. The entities that are linked in an entity-relationship model are traversed in response to a query, to thereby obtain query results that are based on the records in the biological/chemical databases. Thus, disparate databases can be integrated into a single entity-relationship data structure. By navigating the single entity-relationship data structure in response to queries, discovery may be obtained that may not be obtainable from any one of the disparate databases.
