Use this site to download software based on the maximum-entropy approach for species habitat modeling. This software takes as input a set of layers or environmental variables (such as elevation, precipitation, etc.), as well as a set of georeferenced occurrence locations, and produces a model of the range of the given species. ...

The intention of the GoldenGATE editor is to build a bridge between NLP components and XML markup of natural language text according to arbitrary XML schemas. It allows the deployment of NLP components to marking up the bodies of literature they were designed for. In this way, it enables transforming the texts into XML content according to an XML schema that was designed to gain maximum benefit from the knowledge provided in them. The GoldenGATE editor picks up the ideas of plug-in processing resources and pipelined processing implemented in the GATE framework (http://www.gate.co.uk), which has been widely used in many areas of NLP research. At the same time, it provides a full XML editor including assistance for manipulation of both text and markup, thus allowing users to improve data quality by manual intervention. In order to achieve maximum flexibility and extensibility, the GoldenGATE editor provides plug-and-play interfaces on many levels: Individual automated components for markup creation and manipulation, entire groups of functionalities, components accessing documents in arbitrary storage locations, and arbitrary document data formats. ...

The site's focus is bioinformatics, computational genomics and biological data analysis. As long as your question is: detailed and specific, written clearly and simply, of interest to at least one other person somewhere, it is welcome here. No question is too trivial or too "newbie". Please look around to see if your question has already been asked (and maybe even answered!) before you ask. But if you end up asking a question that has been asked before, that is OK and deliberately allowed. Other users will hopefully edit in links to related or similar questions to help future visitors find their way. Submitting your answer or question here, you agree to release it under a Creative Commons, Share Alike, Attribution (CC-SA-BY) license. ... [Information of the supplier]
The goal of the National Center for Biomedical Ontology is to support biomedical researchers in their knowledge-intensive work, by providing online tools and a Web portal enabling them to access, review, and integrate disparate ontological resources in all aspects of biomedical investigation and clinical practice. A major focus of our work involves the use of biomedical ontologies to aid in the management and analysis of data derived from complex experiments. ... [Information of the supplier]
The Biomedical Informatics Research Network (BIRN) is a national initiative to advance biomedical research through data sharing and online collaboration. Our work focuses directly on the biomedical research community’s unique, data-intensive sharing and analysis needs, which are particularly evident in fields such as biomedical imaging and genetics. BIRN provides a user-driven, software-based framework for research teams to share significant quantities of data – rapidly, securely and privately – across geographic distance and/or incompatible computing systems. We also offer data-sharing software tools specific to biomedical research, best practices references, expert advice and other resources. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
The Experimental Factor Ontology (EFO) is an application focused ontology modelling the experimental factors in ArrayExpress. The ontology has been developed to increase the richness of the annotations that are currently made in the ArrayExpress repository, to promote consistent annotation, to facilitate automatic annotation and to integrate external data. The methodology employed in the development of EFO involves construction of mappings to multiple existing domain specific ontologies, such as the Disease Ontology and Cell Type Ontology. This is achieved using a combination of automated and manual curation steps and the use of a phonetic matching algorithm. The ontology is evaluated with use cases from the ArrayExpress repository and ArrayExpress. ... [Information of the supplier]
BioPortal is a Web-based application for accessing and sharing ontologies. BioPortal provides functionality to browse and search across all ontologies, supports views/slims/value sets and mappings between ontologies. [Information of the supplier]
In his blog iPhylo, the Scottish evolutionary biologist Roderic Page, a professor at the University of Glasgow, frequently writes about topics in biodiversity informatics and taxonomy. There are links to his numerous projects, such as iSpecies or BioStor. [Editorial staff vifabio]
mx (preferred reference all lowercase) is a Ruby-based platform that consists of a Ruby on Rails (RoR) application and various supporting gems/libraries. Initially conceived and developed as a collaborative web-based content management system for biosystematists mx now has a wide range of functionality much of which can broadly categorized under the umbrella of biodiversity informatics. ...
