Zusammenfassung:
About 25 different research institutes in Germany are involved in the systems biology network "HepatoSys" which all produce a huge amount of heterogeneous data that, up to now, has been stored locally. To allow an easier access to these data a central integrated database is being developed by the company Genedata AG for HepatoSys which is supposed to
- allow a comprehensive storage and queryable presentation of (related) experimental, model and simulation data together with links to external data sources,
- allow exchange of data easily among all investigators of HepatoSys
- and present selected data to the scientific community in a queryable and downloadable format.
The integrated database is based on the requirement specification of HepatoSys.
It is being developed in the context of a research project (funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, BMBF) and can be used by HepatoSys unlimited for all times.
Main components of the integrated database are an Experiment block covered by Genedata's Expressionist, a Component and Reaction block represented by Genedata's Phylosopher and a Model block which is being developed newly by Genedata in close collaboration with the central data management of HepatoSys. The development project has started in 11/2005 and will end in 05/2007. All data produced and stored using the database will only belong to the members of HepatoSys. Genedata's software products Expressionist and Phylosopher have been licenced by the MPI Magdeburg.
