Will a Biological Database Be Different from a Biological Journal?

Will a Biological Database Be Different from a Biological Journal?

The differences, or otherwise, between biological databases and journals is an important question to consider as we ponder the future dissemination and impact of science. If databases and journals remain discrete, our methods of assimilating information will change relatively little in the years to come. On the other hand, if databases and journals become more integrated, the way we do science ...

A Query System in a Biological Database

In this paper, we present a query system that has been implemented in a practical biological database-GPCRDB. Distinguishing features of this system include: smart query relaxation and smooth integration of navigation with conventional language-based query functions. Query relaxation is required due to the fact that queries are not always effective (in other words, expected results are frequent...

Automatically building database from biological ontology

Ontologies give a standard presentation of specific domain knowledge in order to establish either a Knowledge Base (in the case of a moderate amount of data) or an Ontology Based Data Base (in the case of a huge amount of data).The aim of this paper is to present a new methodology to build data base automatically from a biomedical ontology.
