9223350 Karp Molecular biology databases will be of greater utility to biomedical researchers when interconnected than in their current isolated state. The primary impact of the meeting will be to stimulate interdisciplinary research projects between computer scientists who work in the area of integrating heterogeneous databases, and bioinformatics researchers who develop and use molecular biology databases. Computer scientists at the workshop are learning about the properties of existing databases and the requirements that bioinformatics researchers will have for interconnection. Bioinformatics researchers at the workshop are being exposed to strategies and technologies for interconnection that have been developed by computer science researchers. A second focus of the workshop is to conduct an experiment toward the development of a global, multi-database schema for several existing molecular biology databases. A global schema is a first step toward interconnecting these databases, and is a valuable exercise for learning about and evaluating existing tools for the management of database schemas. A final report will summarize the results of the workshop presentations and multidatabase schema experiment, and will be distributed to members of the database and bioinformatics communities. ***

小行星9223350 分子生物学数据库在相互连接时将比目前孤立的状态对生物医学研究人员有更大的效用。会议的主要影响将是促进在整合异构数据库领域工作的计算机科学家与开发和使用分子生物学数据库的生物信息学研究人员之间的跨学科研究项目。 研讨会上的计算机科学家正在了解现有数据库的属性以及生物信息学研究人员对互连的要求。 研讨会上的生物信息学研究人员正在接触计算机科学研究人员开发的互连策略和技术。 研讨会的第二个重点是进行一项实验，为几个现有的分子生物学数据库开发一个全球性的多数据库模式。 全局模式是互连这些数据库的第一步，对于学习和评估用于管理数据库模式的现有工具来说是一个有价值的练习。 最后报告将总结研讨会介绍和多数据库模式实验的结果，并将分发给数据库和生物信息学界的成员。 ***
