This award to an interdisciplinary group of scientists will develop both the theory and the tools both for integrating heterogeneous databases and for querying them. The immediate application of this work will be on data generated by the genome community. However, the need for such a tool is broader than that community. In particular the investigators will provide two tools. The first will be a view mechanism, which allows one to define a view (in yet another data model) encompassing parts of several related databases, and the second is a query language which can be used on this view. This work is being jointly supported by the Database Activity in the Biological Sciences and the Database and Expert Systems Program.

该奖项授予一个跨学科的科学家小组，将开发用于整合异构数据库和查询它们的理论和工具。 这项工作的直接应用将是基因组界产生的数据。 然而，对这种工具的需求比社区更广泛。 特别是，调查人员将提供两种工具。 第一种是视图机制，它允许定义一个包含几个相关数据库的部分的视图（在另一个数据模型中），第二种是可以在这个视图上使用的查询语言。 这项工作得到了生物科学数据库活动以及数据库和专家系统计划的联合支持。
