The Integration of biological databases is critically important because of the interconnectedness of biological research. But it's not easy to integrate these databases for the different formats and designers in heterogeneous environments. So initial design is indispensable to integrate heterogeneous databases. In this paper, after we performed conceptual modeling on a popular nucleotide database, GenBank and a protein database, Swiss-Prot and integrated them by considering cross-reference. we also propose the integration system architecture called Bio-Gateway System, which can help users query closely linked information between two biological databases within one system differently from existing systems as well as query easily on condition that user knows fine condition for less effort.

The widespread usage of blockchain technology in cryptocurrencies has led to the adoption of the blockchain concept in data storage management systems for secure and effective data storage and management. Several innovative studies have proposed solutions that integrate blockchain with distributed databases. In this article, we review current blockchain databases, then focus on two well-known blockchain databases-BigchainDB and FalconDB-to illustrate their architecture and design aspects in more detail. BigchainDB is a distributed database that integrates blockchain properties to enhance immutability and decentralization as well as a high transaction rate, low latency, and accurate queries. Its architecture consists of three layers: the transaction layer, consensus layer, and data model layer. FalconDB, on the other hand, is a shared database that allows multiple clients to collaborate on the database securely and efficiently, even if they have limited resources. It has two layers: the authentication layer and the consensus layer, which are used with client requests and results. Finally, a comparison is made between the two blockchain databases, revealing that they share some characteristics such as immutability, low latency, permission, horizontal scalability, decentralization, and the same consensus protocol. However, they vary in terms of database type, concurrency mechanism, replication model, cost, and the usage of smart contracts.

The legal protection issues of databases are rising to the surface. This study presents the adequacy of copyright protection for databases and gives the overview of the present international legal framework for additional database protection. Finally, this paper makes recommendations on the legal protection countermeasure for the domestic d a t a F industry growth.

It is of importance to integrate several databases to improve its coverage and usage of large amount of biological information produced by diverse biological experiments. In this paper, we proposed a method to integrate the protein interaction databases with various naming schemes. The identifier (ID) mapping methods in the process of integration was also presented.

A deductive database consists of collection of stored facts and deductive rules. It can answer queries based on logical deduction from the stored facts and general rules. A deductive database has both a declarative meaning(semantics) and a procedural meaning. The declarative semantics of a deductive database provides a definition of the meaning of the program in a manner which is independent of procedural considerations, context-free, and easy to manipulate, exchange and reason about. This paper investigates various declarative semantics of deductive databases, dicusses related computational issues, and suggests another declarative semantics for deductive databases which is more practical than others.

We have developed WinBioDBs with Windows interfaces, which include importing modules and searching interfaces for 10 major public databases such as GenBank, PIR, SwissProt, Pathway, EPD, ENZYME, REBASE, Prosite, Blocks, and Pfam. User databases can be constructed with searching results of queries and their entries can be edited. The program is a stand-alone database searching program on Windows PC. Database update features are supported by importing raw database files and indexing after downloading them. Users can adjust their own searching environments and report format and construct their own projects consisting of a combination of a local databases. WinBioDBs are implemented with VC++ and its database is based on MySQL.

This study proves that the quoted legal text functions as the index which represents the contents of the text because of the characteristics of legal information, the automatic indexing in the secondary legal full-text databases can be possible without the assitance of the experts. In case of the establishment, amendment or repealing of law, change of words of index can be possible through revising the legal text quoted in the secondary legal full-text databases. Even when we dont input the full-text about retrospective documents, automatic indexing is also possible, and the establihment and the practice of expert knowledge and integrated databases are possible in case of the retrospective documents. This study indicates that it is necessary to have characteristic information the information experts recognize - that is to say, experimental and inherent knowledge only human being can have - built-in into the system rather than to approach the information system by the linguistic, statistic or structuralistic way, and it can be more essential and intelligent information system.

The study attempts to propose a distributed bibliographic information retrieval system using distributed retrieval servers and distributed databases. CORBA and JAVA applications have been employed to solve both the bottleneck and the problems that simultaneous searches in distributed databases cannot deal with under the CGI or JAVA applications. The proposed distributed bibliographic retrieval system using two distributed servers with their distributed databases was successfully experimented. However, it is recommended that both heterogeneous information retrieval systems and databases are included in further studies.

In this paper we propose a model for checking integrity constraints of mobile databases called Three-Level (3-L) model, wherein the process of constraint checking to maintain the consistent state of mobile databases is realized at three different levels. Sufficient and complete tests proposed in the previous works together with the idea of caching relevant data items for checking the integrity constraints are adopted. This has improved the checking mechanism by preventing delays during the process of checking constraints and performing the update. Also, the 3-L model reduces the amount of data accessed given that much of the tasks are performed at the mobile host, and hence speeds up the checking process.

In very large databases, the problem of searching for interesting information effectively is very important in terms of efficiency and flexibility. A multiple layered database approach based on AOG(attribute-oriented generalization) method is one of the useful approaches for knowledge discovery under various situations. In this paper, we propose a multiple layered database design methodology based on AOG method in object-oriented databases. In addition, we propose a dynamic schema evolution model and implementation strategy in order to continue providing information effectively in multiple layered databases.
