Oak Ridge National Laboratory, with support from the DOE Office of Biological and Environmental Research, is organizing a series of highly focused, community-building workshops to address scientific and software-design requirements for the DOE Systems Biology Knowledgebase (Kbase). The first four workshops will be held in conjunction with existing scientific meetings. Output from these workshops will contribute to the production of a design document for implementing the Knowledgebase.
Objectives for the Workshops
- Identify all user groups (e.g., plant and microbial genomic researchers, bioinformaticians, computer scientists, database developers, software engineers, etc.) and elicit their expectations in regards to the opportunities and requirements for developing and managing Kbase.
- Document community input for the effective development of data capabilities for systems biology that could be applied specifically to plants and microbes (i.e., bacteria, archaea, fungi, and protists - unicellular eukaryotes such as microalgae) important to the fundamental science underlying DOE missions.
- Recognize the cultural transition the informatics community will need to make from individual project based efforts toward research community based informatics.
- Develop strategies for a successful open informatics science endeavor.
Workshop Summary Report
After each workshop, a Summary Report will be written. The Summary Report will document discussions and will be incorporated into the Conceptual Design Report.
