Creating Databases of Genetic Resources Information

A Critique of the Information Resources of Disaster Databases in the World

Comparison of Bibliographic Databases in Retrieving Information on Telemedicine

Background & Aims: Some of the main questions which can be of importance for those researchers who intend to perform a systematic review in a field of science are: ‘What databases should I use for my review?’; ‘Do all these databases have the same value?’; and ‘Which sourcesretrieved the highest of relevant references?’. The main aim of this work was the identification of the best database for ...

NIASGBdb: NIAS Genebank databases for genetic resources and plant disease information

The National Institute of Agrobiological Sciences (NIAS) is implementing the NIAS Genebank Project for conservation and promotion of agrobiological genetic resources to contribute to the development and utilization of agriculture and agricultural products. The project's databases (NIASGBdb; http://www.gene.affrc.go.jp/databases_en.php) consist of a genetic resource database and a plant diseases...

Creating Digital Language Resources

We discuss building digital language resources (such as annotated corpora, lexicons, ontologies, terminologies, tools), which are the main prerequisite for successful communication and information management in the e-society of the 21 century. We give an overview of the main requirements and best practices, and point to necessary steps for creation and maintenance of standardsbased and reusable...

Integrating Genetic Information Resources with an EHR

As the knowledge about the genetic factors associated with clinical conditions increases, access to information that can help practicing clinicians better understand these factors becomes essential for optimal care and communication with patients. We describe the implementation of 'infobuttons' from the problem list module of an electronic health record (EHR) to on-line genetic resources.
