Biositemaps
The Biositemaps Working Group of the NIH Roadmap National Centers of Biomedical Computing (NCBC) (www.ncbcs.org) has developed technologies to address (i) locating, (ii) querying, (iii) composing or combining, and (iv) mining biomedical resources. Each site which intends to contribute to the inventory instantiates a file on its Internet site ‘'biositemap.rdf' which conforms to a defined RDF schema and uses concepts from the Biomedical Resource Ontology to describe the resources.
BIRN Data Repository
This sustainable archive supports the sharing and exchange of biomedical research data, accepts data generated by the biomedical research community and makes these data freely available. Biomedical imaging data from humans and animal models are available for download with descriptive metadata, and in some cases, associated clinical, microarray, or other biomedical data.
Japan Node
This portal provides information about neuroinformatics platforms in Japan that share experimental data, mathematical models, as well as techniques and tools developed for neuroscience research.
Neuroscience Information Framework
The Neuroscience Information Framework (NIF) is the largest collection of neuroscience and biomedical data, materials, tools and resources available on the web. The dynamic inventory is accessible via a semantically-enhanced search portal and available to anyone connected to the internet. NIF provides best practices and tools for resource providers to share their data, make their resources more discoverable, and increase interoperability with other data resources. Additionally, for developers, NIF provides tools and services for accessing NIF's content and vocabularies (ontologies). Find what you need, faster, with NIF.
