Abstract

Life scientists are faced with a rapidly increasing accumulation of data stored in large genomic repositories like EMBL, GenBank, SwissProt, and DDBJ, to name a few. The flood of genomic data, their high variety and heterogeneity in semantics, formats and access methods, their semi-structured nature, and the increasing complexity of biological applications and methods mean that many and very important challenges in biology are now challenges in computing.
