1.1 OVERVIEW
Bioinformatics and the management of scientific data are critical to support life science discovery. As computational models of proteins, cells, and organisms become increasingly realistic, much biology research will migrate from the wet-lab to the computer. Successfully accomplishing the transition to biology in silico, however, requires access to a huge amount of information from across the research community. Much of this information is currently available from publicly accessible data sources, and more is being added daily. Unfortunately, scientists are not currently able to identify easily and exploit this information because of the variety of semantics, interfaces, ...
