چکیده

This paper describes the AnnoCryst system-a tool that was designed to enable authenticated collaborators to share online discussions about 3D crystallographic structures through the asynchronous attachment, storage, and retrieval of annotations. Annotations are personal comments, interpretations, questions, assessments, or references that can be attached to files, data, digital objects, or Web pages. The AnnoCryst system enables annotations to be attached to 3D crystallographic models retrieved from either private local repositories (e.g., Fedora) or public online databases (e.g., Protein Data Bank or Inorganic Crystal Structure Database) via a Web browser. The system uses the Jmol plugin for viewing and manipulating the 3D crystal structures but extends Jmol by providing an additional interface through which annotations can be created, attached, stored, searched, browsed, and retrieved. The annotations are stored on a standardized Web annotation server (Annotea), which has been extended to support 3D macromolecular structures. Finally, the system is embedded within a security framework that is capable of authenticating users and restricting access only to trusted colleagues.

Assessment of structure-based functional annotation methods on protein 3D models

Motivations The three-dimensional structure is more informative of the sole aminoacidic sequence to assign a molecular function to a new protein. For this reason many automated methods have been developed to infer the function of a protein structure using comparison approaches or analyzing its physicochemical characteristics. Unluckily while the genome sequencing projects of organisms have cons...

Semi-supervised 3D model multiple semantic automatic annotation

the purpose of annotation for 3D model is that it can automatically list the best suitable labels to describe the 3D models; it is an important part of the text-based 3D model retrieval. The existence of the semantic gap makes the result based on the similarity matching techniques needs to be improved. In order to improve the 3D model annotation performance using a large number of unlabeled sam...

Combining Synchronous and Asynchronous Collaboration within 3D City Models

This paper presents an approach for combining spatially distributed synchronous and asynchronous collaboration within 3D city models. Software applications use these models as additional communication medium to facilitate communication of georeferenced and geospatial information. Collaboration tools should support both the communication with other collaborators and their awareness of the curren...
