BioIT World: Source of Debate
Submitted by Ron Cecchini; posted on Monday, July 22, 2002 (4 comments)
By Curtis Franklin Jr.
``Open source software is gaining popularity at biotech companies, but thorny issues, such as intellectual property, remain. Do the benefits outweigh the risks?
``For an industry in which 15 years can elapse between startup and first revenue, the allure of `free' software isn't hard to fathom. Biotech companies, like those in many other industries, have embraced the use of software distributed under free or open source licenses.''

Dear Gentleman,
metalife knowledgebase offers the user a ?single entry point? for research and analysis of available decentralized allocated data. metalife knowledgebase also increasingly integrates data that have been generated by means of own newly developed tools. for instance, by means of the text extraction tools and based on the metalife tmp (tmp = text minding process), data can be derived immediately from scientific publications and used for supplementation of annotations to protein entries or addition of new classes of information to the metalife knowledgebase. the metalife knowledgebase is based on standard components ( pc, sql server 2000). it contains the majority of public accessible molecular biological data as well as indices to the primary data collections, serves as a central in-/output memory for the metalife tools and applications, saves information and knowledge references that are created by highly developed metalife technologies, allows the easy integration of proprietary data and applications, compatible with internet technology. the metalife knowledgebase forms the fundament of our progressive bio-informatics package.
best regards
your Metateam
