Using ontologies to access complex data: Applications on bio-imaging

Abstract

Information Systems, used to share information, lead to the growth of heterogeneous data and then the dependencies between them. Thus, the links and dependencies among heterogeneous and distributed data are more and more complex during daily activities of users (researchers, engineers, etc.). Our contribution is to propose a methodology to facilitate the exploitation (interrogation and sharing) of complex data in an organization. The system, we propose, tends to mix semantic approach with data management.
