A Framework for XML-based Integration of Data visualization and
Analysis in a Biomedical Domain
=====================================================================

Biomedical data are becoming increasingly complex and heterogeneous
in nature. The data are stored in distributed information systems,
using a variety of data models, and are processed by increasingly more
complex tools that analyze and visualize them. We present in this talk
our framework for integrating biomedical research data and tools into
a unique Web front end. Our framework is applied to the University of
Washington's Human Brain Project. Speci?cally, we present solutions to
four integration tasks: de?nition of complex mappings from relational
sources to XML, distributed XQuery processing, generation of
heterogeneous output formats, and the integration of heterogeneous
data visualization and analysis tools.
