Virgil database for rich links (1999 update)

With so many databases available for research in the Human Genome Project, it is crucial to efficiently relate information from different resources. For that purpose, we maintain Virgil, a database of rich links for data browsing, data analysis and database interconnection. Virgil current version contains more than 40 000 rich links from five major databases: SWISS-PROT, GenBank, PDB, GDB and O...

Doc, Wyatt, and Virgil: Prototyping Storage Jamming Defenses

This paper describes progress to date on three prototype tools for detecting storage jamming attacks. One prototype uses a replay defense; another uses logical replication, and the third can be used to determine the source and pattern of a detected attack. Three prototype jammers are used to test the effectiveness of the defenses. Initial experiments have shown that access control, encryption, ...

Virgil: A Databank of Links between GDB and GenBank

This paper focuses on a speci c type of information frequently used by researchers in Genetics: links between genome objects. It emphasizes the fact that, at present, links are not su ciently characterized and describes our work to address this problem: the design of a prototype databank to store links between genome databases. Because this global repository is of concern for many people, we we...

Virgil: a database of rich links between GDB and GenBank

Database interconnection requires the development of links between related objects from different databases. We built a database of links, called Virgil, to manage and distribute rich (documented) links between GDB genes and GenBank human sequences. Virgil contains 18 667 unique links. In addition to a simple Web form for ad-hoc queries, we propose a generic Web interface and a prototype CORBA ...
