Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Science & Technology, Technology
Mission: Develop an economically and technologically sustainable business model and platform that provides the resources to allow scientific databases to persist, grow and prosper. Integrate and systematically organize trusted data into knowledge bases and develop tools that enable reuse of and create knowledge from data. Build an interactive, computable learning environment where researchers explore relevant knowledge and build testable hypotheses. Foster interaction and collaboration among scientists to accelerate the progress of science. Promote a deeper understanding of scientific aims, methods, and results within the general public.
Programs: Development and maintenance of tair (the arabidopsis information resource), a database of scientific knowledge about the genome and proteome of the reference plant arabidopsis thaliana. New scientific information was extracted from new research articles and associated to the arabidopsis genes discussed in the publications. The tair scientific database served the public with over 2. 2 million separate visits to the site, over 14 million individual page views, and average 32,000 unique visitors per month.
development of long-term sustainable sources of funding for scientific databases to support their operations and enhance their ability to serve the research community. We supported an external partner database, biocyc, by enabling them to bring in subscription revenue and made scalability and performance improvements to our subscription support software platform.
