Beldin's Umbrella of Tools (BUOT)


Background David Edding's Belgarion series happens to be the only set of fantasy stories that I've read as a teenager. In that story, "Bel" is the prefix given by God Aldur to all his disciples and Beldin was his 2nd or 3rd disciple (cannot remember). That is how the name come from. Then it was 1997 and was considering what my screen name can be for ICQ, Beldin came to mind and it got stuck till now. Want for information about me?

Beldin's Umbrella of Tools (BUOT) is a reuse of a previous project space in Sourceforge. It was originally used for releasing a prototype created during my Advanced Diploma in Computing project. But since that project had been reincarnated into another project, I thought that I might as well use this space for all my other projects as it comes along. So much for background,  let's get to work. Here are the tools in alphabetical order......


Under the Umbrella

InterBase Data Warehouse Builder (IB-DWB) is the reason this Sourceforge project was created for. It is a prototype of a data warehouse builder for Borland InterBase 6 Open Edition that I've worked on for my Advanced Diploma project and subsequently published it in the First Australian Undergraduate Students' Computing Conference in 2003. I am no longer using Borland Delphi and this project is essentially historical. It is now undergoing full re-design and development into Open Data Warehouse Builder (OpenDWS).


Muscorian is a text analysis pipeline that I've developed in my Doctor of Philosophy candidature (which I'm still on) for the gathering and analysis of PubMed abstracts, and the construction of concept maps. This work is initiated in Department of Zoology, The University of Melbourne, Australia, under the financial sponsorship of Cooperative Research Centre for Innovative Dairy Products (Dairy CRC), Australia.


Biological Corpora Collection (BCC) is a collection of tagged biological corpora, together with the corresponding corpus accessing routines and commn testing tools. BCC is assembled during my Doctor of Philosophy candidature in the Department of Zoology, The University of Melbourne, Australia, under the financial sponsorship of Cooperative Research Centre for Innovative Dairy Products (Dairy CRC), Australia. The Perl codes were developed and maintained by Cheng-Ju Kuo in the Institute of Bioinformatics, National Yang Ming University, Taiwan.
