Abstract:
Recently, the number and heterogeneity of life science datasets published on the Web have increased significantly. However, biomedical scientists face numerous serious difficulties finding, using and publishing useful databases. To address these issues, the authors developed a Resource Description Framework-based database platform, called the RIKEN MetaDatabase (http://metadb.riken.jp), that allows biologists to develop, publish and integrate multiple databases easily. The platform manages the metadata of both research and individual data described using standardised vocabularies and ontologies, and has a simple browser-based graphical user interface to view data including tabular and graphical forms. The platform was released in April 2015, and 113 databases, including mammalian, plant, bioresource and image databases, with 26 ontologies have been published using this platform as of January 2017. This paper describes the technical knowledge obtained through the development and operation of the RIKEN MetaDatabase to accelerate life science data distribution.

Abstract:
Since 1997, the EuroSOMNET project, funded by the EU-ENRICH programme, has assembled a metadatabase, and separate experimental databases, of European long-term experiments that investigate changes in soil organic matter. In this paper, we describe the WWW-based metadatabase, which is a product of this project. The database holds detailed records of 110 long-term soil organic matter experiments, giving a wide geographical coverage of Europe, and includes experiments from the European part of the former Soviet Union, many of which have not been available previously. For speed of access, records are stored as hyper-text mark-up language (HTML) files. In this paper, we describe the metadatabase, the experiments for which records are held, the information stored about each experiment, and summarize the main characteristics of these experiments. Details from the metadatabase have already been used to examine regional trends in soil organic matter in Germany and eastern Europe, to construct and calibrate a regional statistical model of humus balance in Russia, to examine the effects of climatic conditions on soil organic matter dynamics, to estimate the potential for carbon sequestration in agricultural soils in Europe, and to test and improve soil organic matter models. The EuroSOMNET metadatabase provides information applicable to a wide range of agricultural and environmental questions and can be accessed freely via the EuroSOMNET home page at URL: http://www.iacr.bbsrc.ac.uk/aen/eusomnet/index.htm.

Abstract:
The project EUMARSIN (European MARine Sediment Information Network), is an international scientific project financed by the European Community and its aim has been the development of an internet retrievable metadatabase containing the marine sediment samples collected from the European Seas. The project, with duration of two years, started on November 1998 and ended on October 2000. This paper elucidates the concerted activities of the partners participating in the project and represent the Marine Geology Departments of the Eurogeosurveys (ERG) now called Geological Survey Organizations (GSOs) of the European Union maritime countries, with the additional participation of a private company specialized on marine data management. The metadata can be accessed on the EU-SEASED Website through both an alphanumeric search and retrieval interface and by a geographical interface which allows the user to define an area of interest on a scrollable map showing the distribution of the seafloor sample/core locations. The EUMARSIN metadatabase now contains approximately 180.000 seabed samples collected by the Geological Surveys and other research organizations, universities, hydrographie offices and commercial companies in Europe. The metadatabase will be regularly updated by the partners on an on-line data entry system which will allow other organizations to contribute their metadata either retrospectively or as new data. The outcome of the EUMARSIN project, will be the successful establishment of the http://www.eu-seased.net marine sediment metadatabase and the development of analogous databases in each Geological Institute with the same specifications. This constitutes the first pan-European metadatabase in the marine geoscience field.

Abstract:
Abstract The advancement of metabolomics in terms of techniques for measuring small molecules has enabled the rapid detection and quantification of numerous cellular metabolites. Metabolomic data provide new opportunities to gain a deeper understanding of plant metabolism that can improve the health of both plants and humans that consume them. Although major public repositories for general metabolomic data have been established, the community still has shortcomings related to data sharing, especially in terms of data reanalysis, reusability and reproducibility. To address these issues, we developed the RIKEN Plant Metabolome MetaDatabase (RIKEN PMM, http://metabobank.riken.jp/pmm/db/plantMetabolomics), which stores mass spectrometry-based (e.g. gas chromatography–MS-based) metabolite profiling data of plants together with their detailed, structured experimental metadata, including sampling and experimental procedures. Our metadata are described as Linked Open Data based on the Resource Description Framework using standardized and controlled vocabularies, such as the Metabolomics Standards Initiative Ontology, which are to be integrated with various life and biomedical science data using the World Wide Web. RIKEN PMM implements intuitive and interactive operations for plant metabolome data, including raw data (netCDF format), mass spectra (NIST MSP format) and metabolite annotations. The feature is suitable not only for biologists who are interested in metabolomic phenotypes, but also for researchers who would like to investigate life science in general through plant metabolomic approaches.

Abstract:

Denne avhandlingen fokuserer på hvordan informasjon fra mange forskjellige samlinger kan gjøres lettere tilgjengelig for informasjonsbrukere. I dagens informasjonssamfunn finnes og produseres det store mengder digital informasjon, og mange organisasjoner og bedrifter anvender derfor beskrivende metadata til å organisere informasjonen sin i mange ulike samlinger/databaser. Dette fører til at personer som ønsker å søke etter informasjon, må forholde seg til tilsvarende mange forskjellige søkesystemer og søketeknikker. Fra disse brukernes ståsted er det ønskelig med et søkesystem som gjør det mulig å søke etter informasjon fra et stort antall samlinger/databaser på ett sted.

Problemstillingen som ligger til grunn for oppgaven er todelt. For det første skal det undersøkes hvordan man kan utforme en arkitektur som muliggjør samtidig søking i flere heterogene metadatabaser. For det andre skal det undersøkes hvordan denne arkitekturen kan anvendes til å bygge opp et enhetlig søkegrensesnitt som gir brukeren tilgang til ressursbeskrivelser fra alle de heterogene metadatabasene.

Forutsetningen for oppgaven er at arkitekturen skal baseres på metadatahøsting ved hjelp av OAI-PMH (Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting). Dessuten skal Fast Data Search anvendes som indekserings- og søkesystem.

I denne avhandlingen presenteres et forslag til et system som, basert på metadatahøsting fra flere forskjellige datakilder og påfølgende sentral indeksering av de innhøstede metadataene, tilbyr en enhetlig søketjeneste. Dette gjør det i praksis mulig å søke i innholdet fra mange datakilder gjennom ett felles søkegrensesnitt.

Datagrunnlaget i prototypen utgjøres av om lag 1400 metadatabeskrivelser som blir høstet fra tre av Nasjonalbibliotekets samlinger; Digitalt Radioarkiv, Galleri NOR og Mavis. Metadatahøstingen utføres av en OAI-høster som er en videreutvikling av en fritt tilgjengelig høsterapplikasjon med åpen kildekode. Alle metadataene er beskrevet i formatet MODS (Metadata Object Description Schema), som er et mer uttrykksfullt alternativ til Dublin Core. Etter en enkel normalisering, blir metadataene indeksert i Fast Data Search. Et webbasert søkegrensesnitt, med mulighet for både enkelt og avansert søk, gjør det mulig for brukerne å søke i alle de indekserte metadataene.

Hovedkonklusjonen er at metadatahøsting ved hjelp av OAI-PMH er en velegnet metode for å utvikle en felles søketjeneste for informasjon fra mange datakilder. Metoden fungerer også internt i en organisasjon/bedrift. Det er likevel viktig å være bevisst på at eksterne faktorer, som for eksempel variasjoner metadatakvalitet, kan påvirke kvaliteten på søketjenesten. Når metoden anvendes internt i en organisasjon/bedrift, kan det derfor være nyttig å undersøke datakildenes kvalitet på forhånd. På denne måten kan uegnede datakilder utelukkes på et tidlig tidspunkt.


This thesis focuses on how information from a lot of different collections can be made more easily available for information users. Today’s information society contains large amounts of digital information, and many organizations and enterprises therefore employ descriptive metadata when organizing their information in several different collections/databases. This diversity forces people wanting to search for information to deal with a corresponding number of different search systems and techniques. For these users, a search system which makes it possible to locate information from a large number of collections/databases at single spot is desirable.

The problem to be addressed in this thesis is split. Firstly it has to be examined how to model an architecture which supports simultaneous searching in heterogeneous metadatabases. Secondly it has to be examined how this architecture can be employed to build a uniform search interface which gives the user access to resource descriptions from all the heterogeneous metadatabases.

A premise for the thesis is that the architecture should be based on metadata harvesting by means of the OAI-PMH (Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting). In addition Fast Data Search should be used as the indexing and searching system.

This thesis presents a system suggestion which offers a uniform search service, based on metadata harvesting from several different data sources and subsequent central indexing of the harvested metadata. In practice this makes it possible to search the content of several data sources using one common search interface.

The data foundation in the prototype is constituted by about 1400 metadata descriptions harvested from three collections at the National Library of Norway: Digitalt radioarkiv (Digital Radio Archive), Galleri NOR (photo gallery) and Mavis (multimedia database). The harvesting process is performed by an OAI harvester which is an adaptation of an open source harvester application. All metadata is described using MODS (Metadata Object Description Schema), which is a more expressive alternative to Dublin Core. After a simple normalization process, the metadata is indexed by Fast Data Search. A web based search interface, enabling both basic and advanced search options, makes it possible for the users to search the indexed metadata.

The main conclusion is that metadata harvesting by means of OAI-PMH is a suitable method for developing a common search service for information from various data sources. The method is also applicable for internal use in an organization or enterprise. However, it is important to be conscious about external factors that may affect the quality of the search service, for instance variations in metadata quality. When the method is used internally in an organization/enterprise, it may be useful to examine the quality of the data sources in advance. By doing this, unsuitable data sources can be excluded early in the development process.

Abstract:
A Dissertation for the partial fulfillment of M.S. (Software Systems) Degree from BIRLA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY AND SCIENCE, PILANI (RAJASTHAN); 2001.
The project aims to provide access through web to a bibliographic database called IndMED. The database is a product of Indian Medlars Centre (IMC, a division of National Informatics Centre) and has data relating to references to articles published in India’s learned biomedical journals. The scope of this project is limited to providing a web-based user interface for database searching and developing the CGI for Web-Database Connectivity. The project was planned to ensure its scheduled completion. A survey of relevant research and technologies pertaining to Web Interface, Web-Database Connectivity and DBMS have been made and briefly described in the dissertation. Interview, Questionnaire and Observation of similar systems were utilized to determine the requirements of the proposed system. Specification of the proposed system was then based on the requirements. After the requirements and the specification of the proposed system was finalized an Analysis Model consisting of Data Flow Diagrams (DFDs) and Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) was developed. Design of the system was then developed for the sub-systems – Web-Interface, Web-database Connectivity and DBMS - so the requirements and specifications are met. The Web-Interface mainly consists of html pages i.e. Simple Search Form, Minimal Search Form and Advanced Search Form and the dynamically generated by CGI the Search Result Screen. The Web-Database Connectivity sub-system consists of PERL Scripts dealing with Processing of data submitted from html forms, Variables assignment, Error Trap, Formulation of query string which can passed on to the DBMS sub-system and Html Patching of the output of the database in response to the query. The implementation of the system includes: the screens along with html code written for various search forms and generated by the CGI for the Web-Interface, Perl Scripts (IMSS.PL; IMAS.PL; IMRS.PL) for the CGI and the Database Structure, Fields included in Inverted File Index of the Database and Display Formats for the DBMS sub-system. The system thus developed was tested to meet the tests prescribed by the system specification. The final product has been integrated into the Home-page of IMC at the URL http://indmed.nic.in . A user help document for searching is also included. The system developed has scope for future research and refinement in regard to relevancy ranking, federated searching, links to full text articles and other material relevant to the user query available on the Internet along with the results from IndMED.

Abstract:
The aim of the study was to evaluate an online tutorial designed to teach digitization and metadata indexing of library and archival resources. The online tutorial was designed according to constructivist teaching principles to promote collaborative learning. The tutorial was hosted on the OLS (Open learning System) of the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN). The research was concerned with answering three research questions: Is the online tutorial a teaching instrument capable of teaching metadata indexing and digitization skills? Is the online tutorial an effective teaching tool? Does the use of constructivist teaching elements in the tutorial design allow for a more effective communication of knowledge and skills? A total of 10 participants registered for and took part in the online tutorial. On completion of the tutorial a qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the tutorial was done. In terms of the latter a self-administered questionnaire was used as the data collection technique. The qualitative evaluation was done via an analysis of discussions on the discussion forum and e-mail correspondence between learners and the researcher during the running of the tutorial. A more quantitative analysis was then conducted of the responses to the self-administered questionnaire. The qualitative and quantitative analysis identified significant issues that affected the running of the online tutorial. The main issues included problems relating to Internet access to the online tutorial, participation of learners on the tutorial and the functioning of the online learning environment. The analysis of the results of the evaluation provided answers for the three research questions. The analysis found that the online tutorial was able to teach metadata indexing and digitization skills. This was based on completed work that was submitted by participants and responses participants gave to questions on the postcourse questionnaire. However, the amount of work submitted by all participants for the metadata indexing and digitization exercises was generally low. The online tutorial was able to conduct effective teaching at certain times in the tutorial. However, there were a number of issues that disrupted the functioning of the online tutorial and this limited the effectiveness of teaching on the tutorial. The use of constructivist teaching elements in the tutorial design was unable to enable effective communication of knowledge and skills and the promotion of constructivist learning on the tutorial. This goal was hampered by various problems associated with the hosting of the online tutorial and Internet connectivity to the OLS site. Various suggestions for further research were made.

Abstract:
Abstract Traditionally, CAD tools have provided limited possibilities for interaction between different participants in a design project. This paper describes an environment for information integration of CAD systems and other application programs referred to as meta-level design information system. Taxonomies of CAD and other application programs with regards to their “integration friendliness” and possibilities for remote access by the enduser are developed. These taxonomies can be used by CAD vendors as a guidance for development of software which can be integrated easier in a higher-level design information system. In this work the taxonomies are used to catalogue the applications and their data. The information integration infrastructure is based on an object-oriented multidatabase using the WWW to transfer the transactions. An information broker provides a global conceptual view of data and knowledge stored in a metadatabase including description of product data and design constraints, design process, organizational information, etc. It processes user queries and dynamically accesses the information from CAD tools (which act as objects on the WWW) if needed. The CAD tools interface is provided by software network adapters. They export parts of the local application models needed for maintaining intertool constraints and supporting remote queries by participants in the design process who do not have direct access to the CAD systems.
