Haemophilus influenzae Genome Database (HIGDB): A single point web resource for Haemophilus influenzae

Background: Haemophilus influenzae (H. Influenzae) is the causative agent of pneumonia, bacteraemia and meningitis. The organism is responsible for large number of deaths in both developed and developing countries. Even-though the first bacterial genome to be sequenced was that of H. Influenzae, there is no exclusive database dedicated for H. Influenzae. This prompted us to develop the Haemophilus influenzae Genome Database (HIGDB). Methods: All data of HIGDB are stored and managed in MySQL database. The HIGDB is hosted on Solaris server and developed using PERL modules. Ajax and JavaScript are used for the interface development. Results: The HIGDB contains detailed information on 42,741 proteins, 18,077 genes including 10 whole genome sequences and also 284 three dimensional structures of proteins of H. influenzae. In addition, the database provides ``Motif search'' and ``GBrowse''. The HIGDB is freely accessible through the URL:http://bioserverl.physicslisc.ernetin/HIGDB/. Discussion: The HIGDB will be a single point access for bacteriological, clinical, genomic and proteomic information of H. influenzae. The database can also be used to identify DNA motifs within H. influenzae genomes and to compare gene or protein sequences of a particular strain with other strains of H. influenzae.

Online_DPI: a web server to calculate the diffraction precision index for a protein structure

An online computing server, Online_DPI (where DPI denotes the diffraction precision index), has been created to calculate the `Cruickshank DPI' value for a given three-dimensional protein or macromolecular structure. It also estimates the atomic coordinate error for all the atoms available in the structure. It is an easy-to-use web server that enables users to visualize the computed values dynamically on the client machine. Users can provide the Protein Data Bank (PDB) identification code or upload the three-dimensional atomic coordinates from the client machine. The computed DPI value for the structure and the atomic coordinate errors for all the atoms are included in the revised PDB file. Further, users can graphically view the atomic coordinate error along with `temperature factors' (i.e. atomic displacement parameters). In addition, the computing engine is interfaced with an up-to-date local copy of the Protein Data Bank. New entries are updated every week, and thus users can access all the structures available in the Protein Data Bank. The computing engine is freely accessible online at http://cluster.physics.iisc.ernet.in/dpi/.

Hydrogen Bonds Computing Server (HBCS): an online web server to compute hydrogen-bond interactions and their precision

Hydrogen bonds in biological macromolecules play significant structural and functional roles. They are the key contributors to most of the interactions without which no living system exists. In view of this, a web-based computing server, the Hydrogen Bonds Computing Server (HBCS), has been developed to compute hydrogen-bond interactions and their standard deviations for any given macromolecular structure. The computing server is connected to a locally maintained Protein Data Bank (PDB) archive. Thus, the user can calculate the above parameters for any deposited structure, and options have also been provided for the user to upload a structure in PDB format from the client machine. In addition, the server has been interfaced with the molecular viewers Jmol and JSmol to visualize the hydrogen-bond interactions. The proposed server is freely available and accessible via the World Wide Web at http://bioserver1.physics.iisc.ernet.in/hbcs/.

A identificação de metadados de assunto para a legislação federal brasileira : o caso do Sistema Legin Web da Câmara dos Deputados

Aponta aspectos que devem ser considerados na identificação de metadados de assunto granulares para a legislação federal brasileira. O objeto de estudo foi o Sistema de Legislação Informatizada (Legin Web) disponível no Portal da Câmara dos Deputados. Os objetivos específicos foram: identificar tipos de assuntos amplamente utilizados na indexação da legislação federal brasileira e aspectos do contexto de busca de informação que interferissem na identificação dos metadados de assunto; analisar possibilidades de metadados de assunto para a legislação federal com base em padrões de metadados e modelos de organização da informação abordados na literatura; e, com isso, propor metadados de assunto para a legislação federal brasileira. A ideia é usar esses metadados para diminuir a imprecisão dos resultados das pesquisas na legislação federal, tornando o processo mais rápido e eficiente.

Iriyaweb 3, portal web de una asociación cultural

El proyecto consiste en la renovacion (rediseño y nueva construccion) del portal web de la asociacion de la tamborrada Iriyarena, que organiza la Unibertsitateko Danborrada. El actual sitio es un sitio estatico que necesita una actualizacion hacia un entorno dinamico. Dado que Iriyarena es una asociacion sin animo de lucro, todas las herramientas que se empleen deben ser de codigo abierto y gratuito que incluya los principales estandares web.
