Heterogeneous Information Systems

Our group is dedicated to exploring and studying heterogeneous information systems. We investigate the complexities involved in integrating structured and unstructured data, relational and non-relational databases, centralized and distributed systems, and transactional systems.

By collaborating across different disciplines and using innovative methodologies, we aim to solve the challenges that arise in heterogeneous information environments. Our research focuses on advancing the understanding of data integration, interoperability, and emerging technologies in information systems, and developing solutions to address these issues.

Research

DataPLANT is a consortium of plant researchers that is part of the NFDI. Its main objective is to drive the democratization and digital transformation of research data in the field of basic plant research. The consortium's mission is to develop a Research Data Management (RDM) platform that can meet the community's requirements and allow for the processing and contextualization of research datasets in line with the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable).

We collaborate with our Computational Systems Biology Group here at RPTU to research and develop the RDM eco-system. Our focus is on large-scale plant science data modeling, data integration, research and development of software solutions for data indexing, search & findability to enable interdisciplinary data analysis. Specifically, we work on RDM ideas, Annotated Research Contexts as Fair Digital Objects, supporting tools, and solutions.
