For a long time, integration systems were seen as a first step in providing an integrated, homogeneous and cleansed database, which would then be used by researchers to analyze the integrated data and move towards new discoveries in biology. This vision reduces data integration to relatively simple problems, whereas it is clear today that integrating bioinformatics data cannot be done without expert knowledge, because integrating biological data leads...
