Template:Infobox biodatabase/doc

From Encyc

Infobox used to describe a Biological database. For each database we want to know if the database is still in use, if a web service or a sql access is available, if it is specific to a given organism, etc...

Please, don't forget to add Category:Biological databases at the bottom of the article.

Fields[edit]

Content[edit]

  • title: title e.g. FusariumDB
  • description:short description e.g.: Cyber infrastructure for Fusarium
  • scope: Could be one of : Nucleotide Sequence, RNA sequence, Protein sequence, Structure, Genomics (non-vertebrate), Metabolic and Signaling Pathways, Human and other Vertebrate Genomes, Human Genes and Diseases, Microarray Data and other Gene Expression, Proteomics Resources, Other Molecular Biology, Organelle, Plant, Immunological...
  • organism: one or more organisms specific to this database

Contact[edit]

  • center or centre: the research center. e.g. NCBI
  • laboratory: the laboratory
  • author: the author(s) of this database
  • citation: the primary citation for an article describing the database (alternatively use pmid= for the PubMed ID, but don't use both)
  • pmid: PMID for an article describing the database (alternatively use citation=, but don't use both)
  • released: release date

Access[edit]

  • standard: MIs, Data formats, Terminologies
  • format: Data formats
  • sql: if the database is available as a public SQL server (could be a URL pointing to the documentation )
  • webservice: if there is a web service for this database (could be a URL pointing to a WSDL file.
  • sparql: sparql endpoint(s) if any
  • download: download area, FTP site...

Tools[edit]

  • webapp: Web application(s)
  • standalone: Standalone tool(s)

Misc.[edit]

  • versioning: Versioning policy/ access to historical files
  • license: license for the data.
  • frequency: Data release frequency
  • curation: Curation policy
  • version: release version
  • bookmark: Can you bookmark the entity in this database (http GET method)

Quick generation with XSLT[edit]

The following XSLT stylesheet https://gist.github.com/768553 can be used to generate a stub from a Pubmed article.

Example with xsltproc[edit]

xsltproc --novalid \
     pubmed4biodb.xsl \
     "http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/efetch.fcgi?db=pubmed&id=19846593&retmode=xml"
