Why do we need data integration and interoperability?

Centralised solutions

Advantages– Better query performance for large datasets– Easier to analyse raw data in one location

Disadvantages– Regular data deposition is non-trivial– Designing a single schema to store different types

of data is not simple.– Persuading people to “give up” their

data/databases/websites– Will still need to make interoperable with other data

sources

The Royal Society London, May 19-21st, 2010Mouse models for human disease

Distributed solutions

Advantages– Domain expertise at production site exploited– Different types of data easily integrated as long as they share

something in common such as a gene identifier– No need for nightly data flow to keep data up to date– No need for redundant data in each database– Easier to persuade people to collaborate in a distributed scenario

Disadvantages– Technical knowledge required to deploy the web services– Potential query performance problems for large datasets (may need

to provide summary level data)– Potential problems performing analysis over all datasets– Problems with services going down
