Tools for Federation of Brain Data: The Cell Centered Database and BIRN projects Maryann E. Martone, Ph. D. National Center for Microscopy and Imaging Research Center for Research in Biological Systems University of California, San Diego
Increasing Access to Data The Cell Centered Database Make 3D microscopic data available to the scientific community • High resolution light and electron microscopy • Link data obtained at cellular and subcellular scale to molecular and higher order structure • Most of our data is neural but data model is generic • Built on the BIRN infrastructure http://ccdb.ucsd.edu
Research prototype for imaging information Advanced features for representation and querying content of cell level data Venue for sharing cell level 3D microscopic data Data sets from tomography and correlated microscopy are made freely available to the scientific community Imaging management system for microscopy data Detailed data model for tracking and managing imaging data Part of BIRN database federation NCMIR’s contribution to Mouse BIRN The CCDB

Where is the “Cell” in the CCDB? • CCDB is a “primary data” base not a “knowledge” base • Data model was elaborated around the techniques used to acquire images • Correlations between subcellular and cellular structure • Current view on web page is administrative/methodological • “Cell Centered Views” are being constructed through ontologies, the creation of cell-level atlases for classes of neurons and the creation of new data types for cell morphology
Data Types for Neuronal Data Shenglan Zhang, Yujun Wang, Amarnath Gupta
National Center for Research Resources • Establish cyberinfrastructure for storing, manipulating and sharing data and resources • High speed, robust connectivity via Internet2 • Data and computational resources • Current test beds focused on neuroimaging • Human MRI • Human fMRI • Mouse models of neurological disease • *Will no longer matter where data, instruments and computational resources are located physically” BIRNBiomedical Informatics Research Network

Planned Enhancements • Populate the database • Electronic lab notebooks --> CCDB using XML • Implement additional annotation capabilities • Implement new data types • Create advanced queries based on new data types and ontologies • Develop APIs and other aids to interoperability • Facilitate use of data in CCDB to aid in model construction (XML output) • Revision of CCDB schema • Continued Research: • Cell atlases • Ontologies for subcellular data
