Title: Biodiversity Database System (BODHI)

Main Research Question: How can a database system be designed to effectively manage and integrate diverse types of data related to bio-diversity, spanning from molecular to organism-level information?

Methodology: The researchers developed BODHI, a bio-diversity database system, using an object-oriented modeling approach and public-domain software. They incorporated various sophisticated indexing strategies and a rule-based query processor to optimize query execution.

Results: The study reports on the performance characteristics of BODHI for a representative set of queries. The system was able to efficiently access and integrate diverse types of data, including taxonomic characteristics, spatial distributions, and genetic sequences.

Implications: BODHI serves as a valuable tool for researchers studying bio-diversity, as it allows for the seamless integration and management of diverse data types. It also highlights the potential of database research in the field of bio-informatics and the study of bio-diversity.
