Abstract

See full text

Biological/chemical databases are integrated by obtaining an entity-relationship model for each of the biological/chemical databases, and identifying related entities in the entity-relationship models of at least two of the biological/chemical databases. At least two of the related entities that are identified are linked, to thereby create an entity-relationship model that integrates the plurality of biological/chemical databases. The entity-relationship model that integrates the biological/chemical databases provides an ontology network that integrates the diverse ontologies that are represented by the independent biological/chemical databases. By navigating the entity-relationship model in response to queries, discovery may be obtained that may not be obtainable from any one of the independent biological/chemical databases.
