The information strategy of research organizations now has to encompass genomics, pharmacology, proteomics and, of course, the types of chemical information we have reviewed in this database roundup.
Moreover, the need to capture, organize and distribute data as early as possible to everyone in the development cycle creates the new information technology challenge of storing diverse information in a common format that can be accessed, understood and used by all. Genomic databases, for instance, are very different in structure from chemical databases, and for most research enterprises, defining appropriate links between multiple databases is an unsolved problem.
