Description:
The goal of the BioPAX group is to develop a common exchange format for biological pathways data.
The BioPAX project began at the Fourth BioPathways Consortium Meeting, a satellite of the ISMB'02 Conference held in Edmonton, Canada in August 2002. There it was decided that the creation of a standard data exchanage format for pathway information was not only a good first step toward building an open source pathway information resource, but also that such an exchange format would be a desirable end in itself as it would facilitate sharing of pathways information between existing databases, both public and private.

Description:
The aim of the DOPE project (Drug Ontology Project for Elsevier) is to investigate the possibility of providing access to multiple information sources in the area of life sciences, through a single interface. DOPE allows thesaurus-driven access to heterogeneous and distributed data, based on the RDF data model. This architecture allows for the easy addition of ontologies and data sources, to facilitate the investigation of ontology mapping and data integration issues.
Usecase:
Propose ways to provide access to multiple lifescience
information sources through a single interface in order to support information providers such as Elsevier make it their business.
