Abstract

The creation of an integrated biomedical information database requires diverse and flexible schemas. Although relational database systems seem to be an obvious choice for storage, traditional designs of relational schemas cannot support integrated biomedical information in the most effective ways. Therefore, new models for managing diverse and flexible schemas in relational databases are required for such systems. This paper proposes several schema models for integrated biomedical information using relational tables, and presents an experimental evaluation of their efficiency.
