Editing Pathway/Genome
Databases
Pathway Tools Paradigm
 Separate
database from user interface
 Navigator
 Editors
 Reuse
SRI International
Bioinformatics
provides one view of the DB
provide an alternative view of the DB
information whenever possible!
 Compounds are the building blocks of reactions
 Reactions are the building blocks of compounds
 A PGDB should not describe the same biological entity more
than once
List of Editors

Saving Changes
 The
SRI International
Bioinformatics
user must save changes explicitly with Save
KB
 To
discard changes made since last save
 Special -> KB -> Revert KB

Correspondence
 Creating links to a pathway/genome db
 Creating links from a pathway/genome db
Ocelot Concurrency Control I
 Simultaneous
updates
 Optimistic concurrency control
 optimistic: assumes conflicts will be infrequent
 allows users to make changes at will
 checks for conflicts at times of saving
SRI International
Bioinformatics
Ocelot Concurrency Control II
 Save
SRI International
Bioinformatics
KB operation
 1. Ocelot checks whether any changes made by user conflict
with changes that may have been saved recently by others
 2. No conflicts found => save to Oracle
 Saves to current organism KB
 Unsaved KB indicator (*)
Ocelot Concurrency Control III
SRI International
Bioinformatics
 Revert
KB operation
 Refresh KB operation
 automatically at 2:00 am

if the user does not have any unsaved updates in their wokspace
Editing rules: Support Policy
 Do
SRI International
Bioinformatics
not alter KB schema
 e.g. do not add or remove classes or slots
 Do not modify the E. coli or MetaCyc datasets
The Special Menu: KB
 Show
KB Modifications
 Revert KB
 Refresh KB
 Reconnect to Oracle
 Checkpoint KB
 Restore Checkpoint
 Delete KB

Constraint Checking



SRI International
Bioinformatics
General rules that constrain the valid relationships among
instances
Constraints are checked when new facts are asserted to
assure that the KB remains logically consistent
Constraints on slots:
 Domain violation checks to make sure they should be in instances of that
class
 Range violation :
