The
growth of genetics and molecular biology requires computer science the
ability to process, store and extract information from the vast amounts of
structured and unstructured biological data. Informational model capable
of achieving this task should have the following main features: adequately
reflect the real objects; be flexible to adapt to new types of biological
data; allow to process the data with the existing techniques and optimal
rate of extracting of information which is currently necessary; provide
the possibility to present the data in the convenient and understandable
format. The informational model, which suits all these requirements, does
not exist now that leads to the loss of information and time to invent the
new approach for every new object.
The
long-term aim of the project is to develop such a type of the
informational model and realize it in the software. For this purpose it is
suggested to invent a data modeling semantics using biological symbols and
terms with a possibility of future expanding and alignment. A common
semantics and syntax to describe biological objects will allow to develop
and manage a biological knowledge database that will enable researchers to
gather information according to each individual’s role, responsibility
and need.
