Desktop information integration

We have attempted, through general discussion and specific examples, to meet three objectives in this paper. Our first objective was to demonstrate that access to distributed information sources leads to information integration. This should be patently obvious apart from any of our presentation, but people are often confused in the juxtaposition of the terms distribution and integration . We hope we have provided sufficient examples of bringing together information at the desktop, and sharing it with other appUcations, to demonstrate the principles. 

The KTL core annotations have been integrated into several in-house desktop applications for compound design and HTS hit triage. The annotations provide key binding information for the inhibitors and can be used to cluster compounds or to search for inhibitors with a particular binding feature. Overall these insights can help accelerate the HTS triage process and allow project teams to advance chemical matter in a timely manner.

Integrated Operation (TO) in the petroleum industry has for many years included distributed collaboration as a key support capability. The technologies used to enable stributed collaboration, e.g. between onshore and offshore, have evolved from phone calls and teleconference to video conferencing rooms, to desktop solutions and lately towards more mobile solutions (Sarshar Rind, 2014). As described by Kaarstad and Rindahl (2011) lO can improve access to information and provide a shared awareness in decision-making. One important feature is the increased availability of real-time data that makes it possible for personnel at different locations to cooperate based on a shared and up-to-date description of the operational situation. Another important enabler of improved decisionmaking in lO is a shared collaboration surface. A shared collaboration surface can provide a common and coherent representation of goals and... 

PostScript. PostScript is a page description language developed by Adobe Systems Incorporated. Today, most word processors and desktop publishing systems support PostScript as one of their output formats. Most laser printers and many document production systems support PostScript as input. An extension of PostScript, called encapsulated PostScript, creates an output format which can be imported into some document production systems as a way of integrating information from different systems. PostScript is not strictly an interchange format, since the imported material in encapsulated PostScript cannot be edited, merely printed. This may change in the future.
