Overview

The goals of the Data Federation workgroup are to develop multiscale databases and tools to aid in storing, managing, sharing, expanding, and visualizing Mouse BIRN data. The immediate focus involves examining and changing as needed current local and global database schemas and ontologies to support sharing between current participants while considering the addition of future domains.

Sample Queries

• Original queries: The questions scientists may want to ask of the mouse BIRN are what should drive the development of the database query interface. (First period of Mouse BIRN)
• Additional Queries: Queries by Diana Price (broken into levels). This is an overview based on a statistical approach to examination of the data. (July 2005)
• To add and develop these queries, go to the Mouse BIRN Queries page.

• Additional queries have been added to the EAE "How To" workflow page page
