Semantic Integration of Neuroinformatics Data in the Arkansas Image Enterprise System with Open Biomedical Ontologies.

The Arkansas Image Enterprise System (ARIES) pilot project brings together data from three collaborating investigative teams in an effort to identify common pathways of neurodegeneration. These datasets include images and imagederived features, motor assessments, cognitive assessments, clinical rating scales, demographics, and clinical data. ARIES achieves semantic integration of its diverse datasets using representations based on axiomatically-rich ontologies.
