===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. As a consequence, modern biomedical information corresponds to a high volume of heterogeneous data that is increasing exponentially (Statistics NCBI) and perhaps more importantly, 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) has been instigated (resulting from a collaboration between AFM/CNRS/IBM) firstly to develop a computing grid that connects hundreds of processors installed in various data-processing centres at French universities and secondly, to facilitate 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 large computational capacity and on the other hand, the deployment in the grid environment of a data integration system able to handle automatically large volumes of heterogeneous data and to quickly process complex queries and versioning management.

===BIRD System Overview===
The BIRD System (Nguyen et al, CORIA 2008, Hermes Edition) was designed to manage large collections of biological data and to perform intensive computation and simulation. BIRD has inherited some of the idealogy of the 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 a database according to semantic topics and real requirements.

====Kohonen´s feature maps====
 
  A Kohonen’s self organizing feature map (K-map) uses analogy with biological neural
 
  structures where the placement of neurons is orderly and reflects the structure of external (sensed)
 
  stimuli (e.g. in auditory and visual pathways).
 
 
  A 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 the input. A large number of
 
  examples is needed.
 
 
  K-map  mimics well learning in biological neural structures. It is used in speech recognizers.
 
 
  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 a teacher. It also preserves closeness (topology).
 
 
'''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.

Finding groups with similar characteristics (ClusterTable procedure)
 
 
  You can find groups with similar characteristics using the ClusterTable procedure.
 
  When to do it:
 
  The database might contain patient data including demographic data, for example: v Gender v Age v
 
  Profession v Family status The information might also include the income or the socio-demographic group of the customer

  In the tables or views of your database (Transciptomic or clinical Data), there might
 
  be one column that you are particularly interested in. In the clinical data, you can find   
 
  relations between symptoms and diseases. With this information, you can predict the potential diseases of new patients

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
