Database Projects
BrainMap Database: this site from U. of Texas San Antonio is the only neuroanatomy database accesible trough the Web at the moment. BrainMap consists of three components:
Experimental Data Databases
NTSA Workbench - MIT: Database of neuroscience time-series data developed in parallel with the USCBP NeuroCore database. The database was designed to store data from behavioral experiments where neural recordings are taking place. The database is implemented in Sybase, a traditional relational database. The structure of the database is also based on the heirarchical description of an experiment. The database also allows for some description of new terminology (e.g. extension of database terminology). The data is stored in the database as data files so the database is not meant to do any analysis or statistical manipulation of the data. However, the data is extracted from the database and then converted into a Time Series Data Protocol (TSDP). This protocol can actually be used as a standard transfer format for time-series data. The user interface for this database was originally based in X-windows, however, they have begun moving some interface components to java/html.
Cortical Neuron DB - Cornell: Database of neurophysiological data types. The database was designed to store data from specific neuroscience related "data types". Database is designed to store data on cortical neurons for a research community (e.g. is not designed to be an experimental tool for the collections and analysis of data). Based on previous work for the Aplysia project where a database for Aplysia data was being constructed. Database is implemented in Informix an object-relational database. The design of the database is based on a C++ scheme where all data objects are seen as classes that exist in an inheritance heirarchy. Does not describe experiment in a heirarchical fashion and has limited description of the experimental protocols used to generate the data. Also developing java/html interface tools.
Electophysiological DB - Yale: Part of the SenseLab Project. Database of electrophysiological data from rat barrel neural recordings. The database is designed in Illustra an object-relational database. Part of a collection of databases including an olfactory receptor database and a database of cononical neurons, Most emphasis has been place on the receptor and neuron database. Unsure of status of current development.

DIOM (Distributed Interoperable Object Model) - University of Alberta: An experimental implementation of a cooperative information system, built on web browser interfaces, the Oracle database manager, and CGI scripts. Makes use of the Distributed Interoperable Object Model (DIOM), an approach that explicitly defines the interfaces of an information consumer and an information producer, matching them dynamically to achieve interoperability in heterogeneous information systems with growing number of autonomous data sources as components.
SWIG (Simplified Wrapper and Inteface Generator): SWIG is a program development tool designed to make it easy to build scripting language interfaces to C/C++ programs. Its primary audience is scientists, engineers, and programmers who would like to build interactive C/C++ programs, but who would rather work on more interesting problems than figuring out how to extend their favorite scripting language or using an excessively complicated programming tool.
