The document discusses lessons learned from integrating public and private data using the Unison platform. It describes the types of data that can be integrated, including genomics, proteomics, chemistry, networks, and clinical data. It outlines different types of integration like semantic and source integration. Challenges of integration include establishing relationships between data and handling frequent updates. Benefits include enabling analysis across diverse data types and centralizing data. Unison integrates sequences, annotations, auxiliary data and precomputed predictions from sources like UniProt and Ensembl to power applications, in-house tools and data mining projects.
