XMELD

The unprecedented biological data deluge has opened unforeseen opportunities for the biotechnologist to day to validate and accelerate his research in a most efficient and rewarding manner. In order to achieve the required efficiency of utilizing the immense volume of data, it is imperative that the researchers use integrated data mining to integrate several public domain databases with their own database for quick validation of the results obtained and to be in league with the top research labs around the world.

XMELD offers unprecedented flexibility and scalability in terms of data integration using the industrial standard XML as the backbone and W3C recommended XQUERY as the choice for building complex and “smart” queries in order to build knowledge bases that have academic and commercial value. The complex series of steps involved in the data integration are totally translucent to the end user and he is presented with a graphical query form to build his queries and the rest is all automated. However, the end user should be aware of the XML structure and capable of identifying the common attributes and elements of the related but different biological databases.
