Aiding the Data Integration in Medicinal Settings by Means of Semantic Technologies

Abstract

The paper introduces basic features of a novel ontology integration framework that explicitly takes the dynamics and data-intensiveness of many practical application scenarios into account. We motivate our research partially by the needs of bio-medicine scenarios that have been recently identified within the search for semantics-enabled solutions. In this context, we show a concrete example of the integration process in the life-sciences settings. Moreover, we elaborate a possible bio-medicine industry application domain of the presented framework and explain the benefits of the proposed semantic solution.
