+ *** Working exercise: data integration approaches
+ **** Case study requirements for integration
+ **** Simple "smart" concatenation
+ **** Extending to more complex (and realistic) examples
+ **** Adequacy of annotations and ontologies for integration
+ *** Data Management support for sms
+ **** The EML actor as entry point for data integration
+ **** How do we deal with multiple output formats from EML?
+ **** How do we deal with null values?
+ **** How do we carry out integration specifications given by sms?
+ ***** For example, using "R" to load instance data from multiple voluminous data sets (e.g., 3 100MB data files) and executing data integration "recipes"
+ ***** A database-style approach? (e.g., SQL)
+ *** What approach do we use for representing data conversions?
+ **** Examples: unit conversions, count/area = density, rescaling/projection
+ **** Represent conversions within ontology?
+ **** Represent conversions as actors (searched via annotations, e.g.)
+ **** Define a new or leverage an existing representation for conversions (Prolog, SWRL, XML syntax a la STMML, MoML attributes)
+ **** Use potpourri approach (i.e., try to accomodate multiple mechanisms)
