Template:Infobox biodatabase/doc

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

Content

• 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

• 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

• 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

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

Misc.

• 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

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

Example with xsltproc

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