BIRN-M: A Semantic Mediator for Solving Real-World Neuroscience Problems
Summary: BIRN-M is a semantic mediator that integrates multi-institution neuroscience data via a wrapper-mediator architecture. It connects heterogeneous sources (Oracle, web, SRB, compute results), performs wrapper-driven schema mapping, and uses ontologies with GAV views and a semantic registry to enable cross-source analyses.
