Abstract
Data of interest to biomedical researchers associated with the Human Genome Project (HGP) is stored all over the world in a number of different electronic data formats and accessible through a varietyof interfaces and retrieval languages. These data sources include conventional relational databases with SQL interfaces, formatted text files on top of which indexing is provided for efficient retrieval (ASN.1-Entrez), and binary files that can be interpreted textually or graphically via special purpose interfaces (ACeDB). Researchers within the HGP wanttocombine data from these different data sources, add value through sophisticated data analysis techniques (such as the biosequence comparison software BLAST and FASTA), and view it using special purpose scientific visualization tools. However, currently there are no commercial tools for enabling such an integrated digital library, and a fundamental barrier to developing such tools appears to be one of language design and optimization: The data f...
