BioCloud Search EnGene: Surfing Biological Data on the Cloud
The massive production and spread of biomedical data around the web introduces new challenges related to identify computational approaches for providing quality search and browsing of web resources. This papers presents BioCloud Search EnGene (BSE), a cloud application that facilitates searching and integration of the many layers of biological information offered by public large-scale genomic repositories. Grounding on the concept of dataspace, BSE is built on top of a cloud platform that severely curtails issues associated with scalability and performance. Like popular online gene portals, BSE adopts a gene-centric approach: researchers can find their information of interest by means of a simple “Google-like” query interface that accepts standard gene identification as keywords. We present BSE architecture and functionality and discuss how our strategies contribute to successfully tackle big data problems in querying gene-based web resources. BSE is publically available at: http://biocloud-unica.appspot.com/
Review Paper Title: Research & Evaluation of Keyword Search Techniques over Relational Data
Currently the relational keyword based searches techniques consider the large number of data’s to provide efficient result while the user searching. There is an issue of limited memory hence there is a need of the implementation of the novel techniques/ algorithm. To improve the search technique process by optimizing the query from that has to contain the memory optimization with the help of the genetic algorithm. The process is executed in the dynamic manner which is considered as the real time scenario in that have to execute the whole process as the dynamic based on the user given query. The proposed system is Research and Evaluation of Keyword Search Techniques over Relational Data. Results indicate that many existing search techniques do not provide acceptable performance for realistic retrieval tasks. Keyword Search with ranking so that our execution time consumption is less, file length and execution time can be seen, ranking can be seen by using chart
Smart Environmental Data Infrastructures: Bridging the Gap between Earth Sciences and Citizens
The monitoring and forecasting of environmental conditions is a task to which much effort and resources are devoted by the scientific community and relevant authorities. Representative examples arise in meteorology, oceanography, and environmental engineering. As a consequence, high volumes of data are generated, which include data generated by earth observation systems and different kinds of models. Specific data models, formats, vocabularies and data access infrastructures have been developed and are currently being used by the scientific community. Due to this, discovering, accessing and analyzing environmental datasets requires very specific skills, which is an important barrier for their reuse in many other application domains. This paper reviews earth science data representation and access standards and technologies, and identifies the main challenges to overcome in order to enable their integration in semantic open data infrastructures. This would allow non-scientific information technology practitioners to devise new end-user solutions for citizen problems in new application domainsThis research was co-funded by (i) the TRAFAIR project (2017-EU-IA-0167), co-financed by the Connecting Europe Facility of the European Union, (ii) the RADAR-ON-RAIA project (0461_RADAR_ON_RAIA_1_E) co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) through the Iterreg V-A Spain-Portugal program (POCTEP) 2014-2020, and (iii) the Consellería de Educación, Universidade e Formación Profesional of the regional government of Galicia (Spain), through the support for research groups with growth potential (ED431B 2018/28)S

Using Document Indexers for Faceted Search in Dataspaces
Efficient information retrieval is essential to enrich user experience when searching for documents in dataspaces. With the continued growth in the volume and complexity of documents, the efficient information retrieval for searches has become increasingly challenging. To improve users’ search experience, faceted search combines direct keyword search methods with faceted browsing using a predefined set of categories (facets). This paper studies a faceted search approach that integrates dynamic facets generation with search. To further enhance the faceted search, alternative indexers based on pre-defined ontology for data repositories within dataspaces are evaluated in terms of execution time and data size. Experimental results suggest that combining the proposed faceted search with appropriate indexers improves search performance enhancing user experience
