Biomedical data are becoming increasingly complex and heterogeneous in nature. The data are stored in distributed information
systems, using a variety of data models, and are processed by increasingly more complex tools that analyze and visualize them.
We present in this paper our framework for integrating biomedical research data and tools into a unique Web front end. Our
framework is applied to the University of Washington’s Human Brain Project. Specifically, we present solutions to four integration
tasks: definition of complex mappings from relational sources to XML, distributed XQuery processing, generation of heterogeneous
output formats, and the integration of heterogeneous data visualization and analysis tools.
