During the January 2010 WGM the RIMon product was presented. Below an excerpt from the minutes:
- RIMBAA Product presentation: RIMBAA Aspects of the DB2 PureXML database. Amnon Shabo (IBM) presents: "research effort developing a data warehouse (RIMon) that is based on the RIM". See http://www.ringholm.de/persist/20100118_RIMBAA_IBM_Hypergenes_BII.PDF for the presentation.
- Core aspect: BII - Biomedical Information Infrastructure, contains general purpose data warehouse. Called RIMon (RIM based XML storage); querying supported by XQuery. Support export to datamarts using RDF definitions (datamart could be peristed in relational format).
- Received v3 instances are RIMified (mapped to generic RIM classes); allows for creation of Rimified queries for decision support. Archived instances are "RIM ITS" (an in-company own version thereof) based, with preserved clone names.
- Lesson learned: XQuery too complex for most researchers. Lead to the creation of datamarts.
