| Objectives |
Information Systems (IFS) play a central role in bioinformatics, not least due to the massive and constantly growing amount of data. The spatio-thematic fragmentation of the world-wide bioinformatic research community, however, led to a strong specilisation of existing information systems. Resolving current bioinformtic research questions currently requires access of 5 to 10 different information systems.
With this lecture, graduates gain knowledge about existing information systems in bioinformatic as well as about current concepts and technologies for their integration. Students are especially capable of employing diverse XML technologies for representing and integrating existing bioinformatic data.

| Subject |
Lecture:
* Overview about existing information systems in bioinformatics
(requirements and categories)
* Dimensions of information integration and integration architectures
(Distribution, Autonomy and Heterogeneity; Federated DB, Data Warehouses, Mediator-based DB, Peer DB)
* XML-technologies for bioinformatcs
(XML Schema, XSLT, XQuery, XML und DB)
* Schema- und Metadatamanagement in integrated information systems
(Matching- and Mapping-techniques)
Exercise:
* Search in existing bioinformatic information systems
* Conceptual modeling of a bioinformatics DB in UML and generation of logical schemata - relational DB schema and XML Schema
* Integration of data into the DB schema based on heterogenous data sources and XML-based queries
* Integration of further data sources (e.g., SwissProt) using mediators
* Data exhange using XML, especially resolving heterogneities using matching and mapping approaches
