In this study, a unified methodology together with the supporting framework for the problem of data interoperability is introduced which brings together the power of metadata registries and semantic web technologies. A federated architecture of semantic metadata registries which are purely based on ISO/IEC 11179 standard leads to the Linked Open Data integration of data element repositories where each element can be uniquely identified, referenced and processed to enable the syntactic and semantic interoperability. Proposed interoperability architecture is applicable to every domain where information extraction and exchange is possible and is a requirement between applications. Although this study takes its motivation from the interoperability requirements between clinical research and clinical care domains focusing on postmarketing surveillance studies, a case study is also presented which applies the proposed solution for the interoperability of electronic business documents. In eHealth, the use of electronic health record systems in clinical care domain is rapidly increasing and vast amount of data, which is very valuable for clinical research, is accumulating in these systems. During the implementation and deployment of this study, the main objective is to enable automatic information extraction and exchange of data residing in the electronic health record systems of clinical care domain and the data residing in the electronic data capture systems of clinical research domain. As a result; the analysis, implementation and demonstration of the interoperability architecture through federated semantic metadata registries are fully performed to enable the secondary use of electronic health records for post market drug surveillance activities. In addition, the eBusiness case study presents that proposed framework enables automatic data extraction from electronic business documents with the use of semantic metadata registries while eliminating the burden of message translation between different document standards.

Data integration over horizontally partitioned databases in service-oriented data grids Sunercan, Hatice Kevser Sönmez; Çiçekli, Fehime Nihan; Alpdemir, Mahmut Nedim; Department of Computer Engineering (2010) Information integration over distributed and heterogeneous resources has been challenging in many terms: coping with various kinds of heterogeneity including data model, platform, access interfaces; coping with various forms of data distribution and maintenance policies, scalability, performance, security and trust, reliability and resilience, legal issues etc. It is obvious that each of these dimensions deserves a separate thread of research efforts. One particular challenge among the ones listed above tha...
Knowledge discovery in microarray data of bioinformatics Kocabaş, Fahri Salih; Baykal, Nazife; Department of Health Informatics (2012) This thesis analyzes major microarray repositories and presents a metadata framework both to address the current issues and to promote the main operations such as knowledge discovery, sharing, integration, and exchange. The proposed framework is demonstrated in a case study on real data and can be used for other high throughput repositories in biomedical domain. Not only the number of microarray experimentation increases, but also the size and complexity of the results rise in response to biomedical inquiri...
Semantic concept recognition from structured and unstructured inputs within cyber security domain Hoşsucu, Alp Gökhan; Baykal, Nazife; Department of Information Systems (2015) Linked data initiative has been quite successful in terms of publishing and interlinking data over ontological structures. The success is due to answering semantically rich queries over highly structured data. The utilization of linked data structures are widely used in various domains to solve the problem of producing domain specific knowledge which can be interpreted by automated agents without any human interference. Cyber security field is one of the domains that suffer from the excessiveness of the raw...
Mask Combination of Multi-Layer Graphs for Global Structure Inference Bayram, Eda; Thanou, Dorina; Vural, Elif; Frossard, Pascal (2020-01-01) Structure inference is an important task for network data processing and analysis in data science. In recent years, quite a few approaches have been developed to learn the graph structure underlying a set of observations captured in a data space. Although real-world data is often acquired in settings where relationships are influenced by a priori known rules, such domain knowledge is still not well exploited in structure inference problems. In this paper, we identify the structure of signals defined in a da...
Achieving Semantic Interoperability in Emergency Management Domain Gencturk, Mert; Evci, Enver; Guney, Arda; Kabak, Yildiray; Erturkmen, Gokce B. Laleci (2017-05-12) This paper describes how semantic interoperability can be achieved in emergency management domain where different organizations in different domains should communicate through a number of distinct standards to manage crises and disasters effectively. To achieve this goal, a common ontology is defined as lingua franca and standard content models are mapped one by one to the ontology. Then, information represented in one standard is converted to another according to the mappings and exchanged between parties.
