Reasoning on data model for disease monitoring, characterization and investigation
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- configuring a first processing node for communication with one or more additional processing nodes and with one or more of a plurality of geographically-distributed metagenomics sequencing centers via one or more networks;
processing metagenomics sequencing results from the plurality of metagenomics sequencing centers associated with respective data zones in the first processing node, wherein the metagenomics sequencing results are obtained in a decentralized and privacy-preserving manner;
configuring a data model based at least in part on the metagenomics sequencing results, wherein the data model comprises a graph in which nodes correspond to respective profiles and edges between the nodes denote relationships between the corresponding profiles;
performing one or more reasoning operations over the data model to infer relationships between entities of the data model that are not directly expressed by the data model, wherein performing one or more reasoning operations over the data model comprises predicting one or more characteristics for an actual or potential outbreak of at least one of a disease, an infection and a contamination;
updating the data model based at least in part on the inferred relationships; and
repeating the processing, configuring, performing and updating for additional metagenomics sequencing results from one or more of the metagenomics sequencing centers;
wherein the method is implemented by at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory.

Abstract
A method comprises processing metagenomics sequencing results from a plurality of metagenomics sequencing centers associated with respective data zones, configuring a data model based at least in part on the metagenomics sequencing results, performing one or more reasoning operations over the data model to infer relationships between entities of the data model that are not directly expressed by the data model, and updating the data model based at least in part on the inferred relationships. The method further comprises repeating the processing, configuring, performing and updating for additional metagenomics sequencing results from one or more of the metagenomics sequencing centers. One or more portions of the data model illustratively comprise respective profiles each characterizing at least one of a disease, infection or contamination based at least in part on the metagenomics sequencing results.
