RIKEN MetaDatabase: a Database Publication Platform for RIKENs Life-science Researchers that Promotes Research Collaborations over Different Research Area
نویسندگان
چکیده
To promote data dissemination and integration of life sciences datasets produced by RIKEN, we developed an infrastructure database called ”RIKEN MetaDatabase” that enables data publication and integration using the Resource Description Framework. In addition, we implemented a simple workflow for data management and a graphical user interface representing data links across laboratories. Consequently, inter-laboratory collaboration and coordination have been accelerated. Combined with global standardization activities, we expect that this infrastructure will contribute to worldwide data integration.
