CASIMIR WP 7 Integration of Biological collections and material resources into the data network. Objectives
E N D
CASIMIR WP 7 Integration of Biological collections and material resources into the data network • Objectives • To establish which types of biological material and resources might be usefully linked – for example mice, frozen sperm and embryos, cell lines, clones, eg. BACS, libraries, DNA microarrays. • To establish how these might be described and integrated into the data network. • To establish if the Community would perceive value in resource integration: is there value in a “one stop shop”? • To examine business models developed by existing Resource centers and assess their application to databases.
CASIMIR WP 7 Integration of Biological collections and material resources into the data network • Description of work • Identification and listing of resource centers and mouse databases
CASIMIR WP 7 Integration of Biological collections and material resources into the data network • Description of work • Identification and listing of resource centers and mouse databases √ • Direct contacts with scientific responsible persons • Cataloguing database structures, working practices and long term goals • Exploring “cost-recovery” business model and financial sustainability for their core activities. This WP will assess how the lessons learned might be applied to database sustainability.
