DecisionSite and DiscoveryLink Doug Del Prete IBM Life Sciences Visualizing data in novel ways Spotfire User Conference Boston, MA October 28, 2003

DecisionSite and DiscoveryLink 1 What is DiscoveryLink?  DiscoveryLink (DL) is a powerful technology available from IBM that will allow you to view many data sources – even non-relational ones like BLAST and HMMER – as one heterogeneous “virtual relational database”  Basically, a wide variety of data sources are all made to look like SQL-based tables/views, which makes it easy to access them and integrate all of this data together in an optimized way

DecisionSite and DiscoveryLink 2 What is DiscoveryLink?  DiscoveryLink is based on the latest Information Integrator middleware technology, now a major IBM software initiative for data federation/integration  All data sources essentially become “SQL aware”, and do so under a cost-based optimizer that works against both relational and non-relational data sources and their associated queries

DecisionSite and DiscoveryLink 10 DiscoveryLink: A Robust Solution Access to multiple, heterogeneous sources Complex queries across distributed data sources Leverage existing IT infrastructure and use specialized functions of existing databases Integrating analysis tools and business intelligence Can put a SQL front-end and user security on data sources such as BLAST, Pubmed, Genbank, HMMER, XML Can use for fast and easy ad-hoc extensions to a data warehouse/mart Benefits

DecisionSite and DiscoveryLink 11 DiscoveryLink Value Proposition A proven scalable data integration solution that enables efficient and effective queries across disparate data sources, thereby improving R&D efficiencies and productivity. This translates into greater flexibility and competitive advantage in the marketplace.

13 DecisionSite and DiscoveryLink  DecisionSite, in its own right, can access many data sources to drive its powerful set of visualizations – i.e. any data source that is JDBC compliant can be configured as a data source  But DiscoveryLink as the data access engine can extend the reach of DecisionSite in both the types of data sources and performance/scalability  These two products together provide a robust, flexible “best of breed” approach to analyzing your data:  DecisionSite as the user interface/front-end to DL  DiscoveryLink as a federated data source access engine for DS

DecisionSite and DiscoveryLink 14 DecisionSite Server Information Interaction Services Relational DBMiddleware DB2/ DiscoveryLink JDBC WebServices Txt/csv/etc… DecisionSite and DiscoveryLink BLAST/ HMMER XML Relational (Optimized Joins) Pubmed/ Genbank …

DecisionSite and DiscoveryLink 15 Benefits Overview  Access more data sources – BLAST, HMMER, Genbank, Documentum, BioRS, etc.  Access existing DecisionSite data sources faster/easier – XML, Postgres, MS Access, etc.  Extend/augment an existing visualization with information from any of the above data sources  Optimized queries cross-joined across all data sources – relational and non-relational – all under one JDBC connection

DecisionSite and DiscoveryLink 16 Visualize a BLAST result under DS/DL!

DecisionSite and DiscoveryLink 17 DecisionSite and DiscoveryLink  Based on the natural fit of DiscoveryLink into DecisionSite’s IIM (Information Interaction Model)  Under the Information Interaction Designer (IID), you reference “Nicknames”, which are “virtual tables”, pointing to other tables/views and non- relational objects pre-configured under DiscoveryLink  These data sources naturally available to Information Builder and Information Library/Links, and beyond

DecisionSite and DiscoveryLink 18 DecisionSite and BLAST See how easy it is to configure a data source like BLAST to be used under DecisionSite

DecisionSite and DiscoveryLink 19 Indicate BLAST Server/Algorithm

DecisionSite and DiscoveryLink 20 Configure Defline

DecisionSite and DiscoveryLink 21 View complete BLAST Nickname

DecisionSite and DiscoveryLink 22 Configure under Information Designer

DecisionSite and DiscoveryLink 23 Configure under Information Builder

DecisionSite and DiscoveryLink 24 This is all done quickly and easily, even though there is no JDBC driver for BLAST readily available! DecisionSite and BLAST

DecisionSite and DiscoveryLink 25 DecisionSite and XML Similarly, see how easy it is to configure XML to be used under DecisionSite

DecisionSite and DiscoveryLink 26 Provide XML Schema/File Location

DecisionSite and DiscoveryLink 27 Create all the relational Nicknames

DecisionSite and DiscoveryLink 28 Configure Parent/Child Join

DecisionSite and DiscoveryLink 29 Again, this can all be done quickly and easily, without having to find and manually configure a JDBC driver via a text editor, and then restarting DecisionSite, etc. DecisionSite and XML

DecisionSite and DiscoveryLink 30 Merged Queries - Example  In IID, set up the BLAST and Entrez Data Models  Also the Nucleotide/BLAST join via Accession #  Configure a BLAST Information Link  Configure a Nucleotide Information Link  Run BLAST visualization  From the visualization, run the Entrez Information Link to get all the applicable metadata information about each displayed Accession (in Details-on- Demand, Table, etc.)

DecisionSite and DiscoveryLink 31 Query Optimization  Under IID, configure key Joins under DB2/ DiscoveryLink  This includes established DecisionSite data like Oracle and MySQL (very quickly configured in DiscoveryLink Control Center)  The Information Link makes only one JDBC connection to access all the data sources!  The underlying SQL query invokes the DB2 Optimizer to improve performance even more

DecisionSite and DiscoveryLink 32 Query Optimization  Great for large relational data sets such as joining assay results with a chemical compound database, etc.

DecisionSite and DiscoveryLink 33 DecisionSite and DiscoveryLink - Summary You can extend all the powerful features of DecisionSite, like guided analytics and posters, to visualize information from more data sources, in an easier manner, and do so in an optimized environment
