Government & Society: New databases for human metabolomics

Online Metabolomics Databases and Pipelines

E-Government Databases

The new face of government is electronic. Prior to the development of e-government, adoption of small-scale computing and networking in homes and businesses created the world of e-business, where computer technologies mediate transactions once performed face-toface. Through the use of computers large and small, companies reduce costs, standardize performance, extend hours of service, and increa...

Managing government databases - Computer

mation repositories to meet this challenge. This metainformation represents the principal domain of the underlying information repositories. The ontologies group database collections that store similar information, and individual databases join and leave the formed ontologies at their discretion. A common global ontology has been proposed to share information sources in large environments. This...

Quality Assurance of Government Databases

Data cleaning is a vital process that ensures the quality of data stored in real-world databases. The process of identifying the record pairs that represent the same entity (duplicate records), commonly known as record linkage, is one of the essential elements of data cleaning. Digital government serves as an emerging area for database research, such as database management, data integration, da...

New Bioinformatics Resources For Metabolomics

We recently developed two databases and a laboratory information system as resources for the metabolomics community. These tools are freely available and are intended to ease data analysis in both MS and NMR based metabolomics studies. The first database is a metabolomics extension to the BioMagResBank (BMRB, http://www.bmrb.wisc.edu), which currently contains experimental spectral data on over...
