Modeling of complex taxonomy: a framework for schema-driven exploratory portal

This paper discusses an evolution of exploratory portal for an ad- vanced and easy construction of an exploratory portal, through a simplification of the data loading process by a modeling of complex taxonomies. The main re- quirement for achieving this goal has been to make the schema-driven portal through a modeling of taxonomy, the data and the portal layout on Excel. A framework is proposed in which we implement an application that can build the exploratory portal from this Excel model. We have validated the portal popula- tion process, first “in vitro”, then “in vivo”.
