A biological data warehouse is a subject-oriented, integrated, non-volatile, expert interpreted collection of data in support of biological data analyses and knowledge discovery (Schönbach et al., 2000). This definition suggests that a data warehouse is organized around specific subject.
The goal of constructing a data warehouse is to facilitate high-level analysis, summarization of information, and extraction of new knowledge hidden in the data. We refer to the databases that provide raw data for the data warehouse as data sources.

Biowarehouse
The BioWarehouse system was developed by the Bioinformatics Research Group (SRI International), Computer Science Laboratory (SRI International) Columba
The Columba data warehouse system was developed by the Department of Computer Science, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Department of Biochemistry CoryneRegNet
The CoryneRegNet system was developed at the Center for Biotechnology (CeBiTec), Bielefeld University Summary
In this section, the data integration approaches Atlas, BioWarehouse, Columba, and CoryneRegNet were discussed
