Genomic sequence databases
1990
Genomics
It is probably important to realize at the outset that these databases will never completely satisfy a very large percentage of the user community. ...
The range of interests within biology itself suggests the difficulty of constructing a database that will satisfy all the potential demands on it. ...
What I think should happen in a well-designed world is that the sequencing efforts manage their own raw data, passing sequence to central DNA databases when a given length and quality have been attained ...

Experiment Databases
[chapter]
2010
Inductive Databases and Constraint-Based Data Mining
Experiment databases are similar to regular inductive databases, but operate at a higher level of abstraction. ...
We also describe the (principled) design of a pilot experiment database, and illustrate its use. ...
In a regular IDB, this would not make sense, as the model itself is what the user is interested in. ...
