===Scientific Context===
 
Since 2000, thanks to the availability of the human genome and the rapid progress of biotechnologies and information technologies, numerous large biomedical datasets have been generated. Thus, modern biomedical information corresponds to a high volume of heterogeneous data that doubles in size every year (Statistics NCBI) and that covers very different data types, including patient data (from phenotypic, environmental or behavioral origins), gene data (including genome environment, gene expression status, enzymatic activity, gene product modification…) and the processes, protocols or treatments used to generate the information. In this context, systemic approaches are now being developed to analyze and compare this huge amount of information, in order to identify genes and to predict their functions in the cascade of events and networks involved for example, in the emergence of a disease. This requires the development of dynamic and powerful systems to store, assemble, integrate and process very large datasets from different sources. Recently, the Decrypthon initiative (Decrypthon), resulting from a collaboration between AFM/CNRS/IBM, has been instigated, firstly to develop a computing grid that connects hundreds of processors installed in various data-processing centres of French universities and, secondly to provide a facilitated access to the data for the scientific biological community. In the framework of the Decrypthon initiative, several biomedical projects are in progress requiring on the one hand, a strong computational capacity and on the other hand, the deployment in the grid environment of a data integration system able to manage automatically large volumes of heterogeneous data and to quickly process complex queries and versioning management.

===BIRD System Overview===
BIRD System (Nguyen et al, CORIA 2008, Hermes Edition) was designed to manage large collections of biological data and to intensive computation and simulation. BIRD heritages somes main idea of Saada project[http://amwdb.u-strasbg.fr/saada/article.php3?id_article=32]. A generic configurable data model has been designed and allows the simultaneous integration of genomics, transcriptomics and ontology datasets using a limited number of product mapping rules provided by the user (operator or system administrator). The integration rules allow the easy creation of the database according to semantic topics and real requirements.

The BIRD System is not only a data  retrieval tool, but also provides a platform for Knowledge Discovery in Biological Databases or an inductive database. We use the IBM Intelligent Miner (association rules, classification, ..) in order to develop the data mining model. The user can then use BIRD-QL for mining  pertinent information or for analyzing the relational patterns based on the descriptive patterns available in the BIRD-QL engine.
  
Format: EMBL, GENBANK, XML, CSV, OBO/OWL, PDB, UMD, Relational Schema (XML Metadata).

===BIRDQL in few words===
 
The heterogeneous data integrated in BIRD System are represented by several relational tables. The exploitation of these data by SQL queries is not obvious except for developers or computer scientist experts.
 
 
Building queries with SQL in this context is not easy with because that requires to use joins (terme technique) to select data in multiple tables. This complexity must be hidden by HTML forms but a lot of queries can not be setup with HTML forms.
 
 
We proposes own query language (BIRDQL), there is new standard biological query language allowing the biologist or clinician to create data retrieval protocols without exhaustive knowledge of the data sources and their architecture. BIRD System is driven with a high level query engine: BIRDQL, which makes it possible for biologists to express easily queries and to extract knowledge by classical constraints and scientific functions (StructuralDistance,SequencePattern,AssociationRule...).
 
 
BIRDQL in not a mathematically complete language but indeed an idiom adpated to the GUI, human readable enough to be modified by hand.

    Body: represents the examined data.
 
    Consequent: represents a discovered property for the examined data.
 
    Support: represents the percentage of the records satisfying the body or the consequent.
 
    Confidence: represents the percentage of the records satisfying both the body and the

====Kohonen´s feature maps====
 
  A Kohonen’s self organizing feayture map (K-map) is uses analogy with such biological neural
 
  structures where the placement of neurons is orderly and reflects structure of external (sensed)
 
  stimuli (e.g. in auditory and visual pathways).
 
 
  K-map  learns, when continuous-valued input vectors are presented to it without specifying the
 
  desired output. The weights of connections can adjust to regularities in input. Large number of
 
  examples is needed.
 
 
  K-map  mimics well learning in biological neural structures. It is usable in speech recognizer
 
 
  This is a flat (two-dimensional) structure with connections between neighbors and connections
 
  from each input node to all its output nodes.
 
 
  It learns clusters of input vectors without any help from teacher. Preserves closeness (topolgy).
 
 
'''Learning in K-maps'''
 
 
  1. Initialize weights to small random numbers and set initial radius of neighborhood of nodes.
 
 
  2. Get an input x1, …, xn.
 
 
  3. Compute distance dj to each output node:
 
      dj =  (xi - wij)2
 
 
  4. Select output node s with minimal distance ds.
 
 
  5. Update weights for the node s and all nodes in its neighborhood:
 
      wij´= wij + h* (xi - wij), where h<1 is a gain that decreases in time.
 
 
  Repeat steps 2 - 5.

===Kownledge Discovery in Biological Database===
 
 
Some questions ?
 
 
� Can we perform sequence analysis in order to detect sequence patterns that
 
occur very often in the chromosome?
 
 
� If a mutation takes place in a chromosome, does there exist any relationships
 
between nucleotides? If yes, does a mutation of the one nucleotid also
 
influence the other ones and can we use one of the techniques described
 
above to find such relationships?
 
 
� If we translate the activities of the nucleotides into a frequency, can we then
 
detect similar sequences that occur over time? Can we then find indicators
 
that are probably responsible for mutation?
 
 
� Sequence tagged site (STS) are a short (200 to 500 base pairs) DNA
 
sequence that has a single occurrence in the human genome. Can we detect
 
such STSs using KDD?
 
 
� Genetic disorders resulting from the combined action of alleles of more than
 
one gene (for example, heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers). Although
 
such disorders are inherited, they depend on the simultaneous presence of
 
several alleles; therefore, the hereditary patterns are usually more complex
 
than those of single gene disorders. Can we detect such polygenic disorders
 
using  KDD ?
 
 
� A problem in bioinformatics is the determination of the order of the
 
nucleotides in a DNA molecule or the order of amino acids in a protein. This is
 
referenced as sequencing. Can we detect such poly genic disorders using KDD?

===Conceptual Data Model===
 
 
In order to automatically integrate heterogeneous data, we have designed several business data model corresponding to the real format of the data banks. Figure below illustrates the conceptual data model of the BIRD system. It can simultaneously host several bank types. Each type can itself concern several User Defined banks having the same format. Thanks to this conceptual model, BIRD can host different versions of a given data bank and manage them so that the programs launched on grid computing within an application can exploit the same data version during their computation time.
 
 
[[Image:model1.jpg]]
 
 
 
 
The data model of a data bank is predefined in an XML configuration file . This metadata is used to create the Java and SQL code. The code generation is launched at the moment of the configuration of the BIRD data bank or at data loading or reloading. In the example given figure 3, the metadata of Genbank are used to create Genbank-EST, Genbank-Refseq.
 
 
[[Image:model2.jpg]]
 
 
 
This Figure  illustrates the business model for Genbank. Each bank can have several associated entries. Each entry has its associated information like Dbref, SEQData, FTSource,... According to our design, the Java classes of the business models are automatically generated by BIRD. Only instances of classes inherited from super ObjectPersistence will be recognized by the BIRD API. This super class contains common attributes and methods for all generated classes.

The creation of a database goes through some principal stages :
 
Initially the relational schema system (meta-model) is created when BIRD is installed.
 
In the second phase, the configuration module creates the business data model including SQL and Java codes corresponding to the predefined metadata given by the XML configuration. Then, the system analyzes some integration rules to select the data files and proceed to their conversion and loading into the relational tables .

BIRD System : Biological Integration and Retrieval Data was designed by Hoan Nguyen at LBGI laboratory (POCH Team) of IGBMC[1] Strasbourg

What is the BIRD System

BIRD System Overview

The BIRD System was designed to manage large collections of biological data (Bird_Databases_List) and to perform intensive computation and simulation. BIRD has inherited some of the idealogy of the Saada project [2]. A generic configurable data model has been designed and allows the simultaneous integration of genomics, transcriptomics and ontology datasets using a limited number of product mapping rules provided by the user (operator or system administrator). The integration rules allow the easy creation of a database according to semantic topics and real requirements. BIRD is driven by a high level query engine (BIRD-QL), based on SQL and a full text engine allowing the biologist to quickly extract knowledge without programming. Thanks to such an engine, the system is capable of generating sub-databases in accordance with the real requirements of a given project.

The hosted data can be accessed by the community using various methods such as a Web interface, Http Service, an API Java or a BIRD-QL Engine Query.

The BIRD System is developed using the Java technology and uses the IBM DB2 as the data server, as well as the Websphere Federation Server for virtual databases. The web application is hosted either by a Tomcat Server or by a WebSphere Application Server.

The BIRD System is not only a data retrieval tool, but also provides a platform for Knowledge Discovery in Biological Databases or an inductive database. We use the IBM Intelligent Miner (association rules, classification, ..) in order to develop the data mining model. The user can then use BIRD-QL for mining pertinent information or for analyzing the relational patterns based on the descriptive patterns available in the BIRD-QL engine.


The first goal of the Bird System is the implementation of the Décrypthon Data Center in the framework of the Décrypthon Programme (AFM/CNRS/IBM ) [3]

BIRDQL Biological Query Language

The heterogeneous data integrated in the BIRD System are represented by several relational tables. The exploitation of these data by SQL queries is not obvious and can only be performed by expert developers or computer scientists.

In this context, building complex queries with SQL involves the use of joins (technical term) to select data in multiple tables. This complexity can be hidden by HTML forms, but many types of queries cannot be specified with HTML forms.

We have therefore developed our own query language (BIRDQL), which is a new biological query language that allows the biologist or clinician to create data retrieval protocols without requiring exhaustive knowledge of the data sources and their architecture. BIRDQL makes it possible for biologists to easily express queries and to extract knowledge using classical constraints and scientific functions (StructuralDistance,SequencePattern,AssociationRule...).

BIRDQL in not a mathematically complete language but instead is an idiom that is adapted to the GUI and is human readable enough to be modified by hand. see more BIRDQL
