It is also a component of a larger economic entity, the European Union, whose countries share a common currency, a common set of weights and measures, and a common set of rules for national and international commerce. The hope is that one day bioinformatics will achieve the same degree of strength and stability by adopting the same universal code of conduct." If you look at the consortium of culture collections that are members of the World Federation of Culture Collections from a bioinformatics point of view, one striking observation is that fully integrated information about microorganisms is not immediately available.

One possible approach to accomplish this could be to build an infrastructure on top of the disparate data sources where globally unique identifiers are assigned in an ongoing discovery process of pointers between autonomous and heterogeneous data sources. By following this approach, you can test various hypotheses and answer different questions about the data.

In addition, for example, the resulting information also includes all genome sequences from this organism and pointers to the published literature that made us of this organism. If you want to drill down to more detailed information, you can, for example, visit the individual online catalogues of the culture collections.

Next, he integrated the different data sources based on the fact that they can be linked through a common vocabulary. The integrated interface resulting from the ontogrator approach for example allows one to search for all entities that relate to dairy products.

Searching StrainInfo this way produces hits on organisms in the public culture collections that were isolated from dairy products, along with their descriptions. From those organisms it is possible to jump directly to related information in CAMERA, the published literature or to get their complete genome sequences.
