The following is an abstract from that publication: A system for "intelligent" semantic integration and querying of federated databases is being implemented by using three main components: A component which enables SQL access to integrated databases by database federation (MARGBench), an ontology based semantic metadatabase (SEMEDA) and an ontology based query interface (SEMEDA-query). In this publication we explain and demonstrate the principles, architecture and the use of SEMEDA. Since SEMEDA is implemented as 3 tiered web application database providers can enter all relevant semantic and technical information about their databases by themselves via a web browser. SEMEDA' s collaborative ontology editing feature is not restricted to database integration, and might also be useful for ongoing ontology developments, such as the "Gene Ontology" [<a href="http://www.bioinfo.de/isb/2002/02/0021/main.html#Ashburner" target="_blank">Ashburner et al., 2000 ]. SEMEDA can be found at http://www-bm.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/semeda/ . We explain how this ontologically structured information can be used for semantic database integration. In addition, requirements to ontologies for molecular biological database integration are discussed and relevant existing ontologies are evaluated. We further discuss how ontologies and structured knowledge sources can be used in SEMEDA and whether they can be merged supplemented or updated to meet the requirements for semantic database integration. In addition to this abstract, i suggest visiting www.mindswap.org where there are many multi-user ontology based knowledge base projects that allow interaction and annotation. example: http://www.mindswap.org/2003/PhotoStuff/</a><br/> <small>Posted by marko39, 2006-05-10 17:13:38</small> IP.com Patent Debate: 20060053382 http://www.patentdebate.com/PATAPP/20060053382?tab=posts http://www.patentdebate.com/PATAPP/20060053382 http://www.patentdebate.com/PATAPP/20060053382 Thu, 9 Mar 2006 00:00:00 -0500 <div class="maincontent"><table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"><tr valign="top"><td align="right"> Assignee: </td><td>BioWisdom Limited</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td align="right"> Filed: </td><td>5-May-2005</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td align="right">Abstract:</td><td> The invention relates to a system and method for facilitating user interaction with multi-relational ontologies.
