1. A method for using life sciences metadata comprising the steps of:
- obtaining the metadata from a metadata source;
mapping the metadata to a metamodel;
integrating and classifying the mapped metadata into functional views;
storing the integrated metadata in a repository;
retrieving the stored metadata; and
using the retrieved metadata in one or more applications.

Abstract
The present invention provides a system, method and computer program for metadata conduit driven data integration in which data from one or more data sources is integrated using a pre-processor, a modeler, a metadata repository, a virtual data access engine and a web portal, wherein an integration server consumes the metadata stored in the repository to direct queries to data sources and aggregate data and provide functional views of this data to the information consumers. The metadata stored in the repository also drives generation of platform independent applications used in the life sciences domain (research and/or drug development and diagnostics).
