Research interest
Using graph databases for storing simulation data
"I am interested in providing a graph database that contains SED-ML encoded data."
The Simulation Experiment Description Markup Language (SED-ML) is a first attempt to reach the goal of exchangeability and reusability of simulation experiences. It is an XML format, developed as a community effort, involving international partners from different Systems Biology groups.
Since XML has a graph-like structure it is advantageous to use graph databases as storage model. Model data and simulation data is linked and Information Retrieval techniques are used toprovide a userfriendly search option. It's my task to construct a graph database suitable for representing SED-ML data.
It is interesting to work with this very different database type. Graph databases are very different from relational and object databases that are usually teached to students. It's fun to shape the database schema and watch it grow.
