Such advances involve and require powerful techniques for data integration to extract pertinent knowledge and information for a specific question. Biomedical exploration of these big data often requires the use of complex queries across multiple autonomous, heterogeneous and distributed data sources. Semantic integration is an active area of research in several disciplines, such as databases, information-integration, and ontology. We provide a survey of some approaches and techniques for integrating biological data, we focus on those developed in the ontology community.}, journal = {International Journal of Computer and Information Engineering}, volume = {10}, number = {12}, year = {2016}, pages = {2058 - 2063}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10005997}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/120}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 120, 2016}, }
