Mediated Integration of Neuroscience Resources

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的工作将探索神经科学社区数据资源的中介整合。提出的中介系统，即查询集成服务器（QIS），旨在通过利用其他神经信息学研究人员开发的各种语义数据模型，以及使用源自版本控制和本体研究的技术，促进这些资源之间的互操作。概念的验证将通过与人脑项目相关的两个小组的密切合作来获得：生物医学信息研究网络（BIRN）附属的研究人员来自加州大学圣地亚哥分校，他们也在联邦数据库的查询中介领域工作；以及康奈尔大学的加德纳小组，他们正在研究神经科学的公共语义数据模型。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed work will explore mediated integration of data resources in the neuroscience community. The proposed mediator system, the Query Integrator Server, (QIS) is intended to facilitate interoperation between such resources by leveraging various semantic data models developed by other neuroinformatics researchers, in addition to using technologies derived from version-control and ontology research. Proof of concept will be obtained by close collaboration with two groups that are associated with the Human Brain Project: Biomedical Informatics Research Network (BIRN)-affiliated investigators from the University of California, San Diego, who are also working in the field of query mediation for federated databases, and the Gardner group at Cornell University, which is working on common semantic data models for neuroscience.
