CASIMIRWP 7
Integration of Biological collections and material resources into the data
network
Objectives
• To establish which types of biological material and resources
might be usefully linked – for example mice, frozen sperm and
embryos, cell lines, clones, eg. BACS, libraries, DNA microarrays.
• To establish how these might be described and integrated into the
data network.
• To establish if the Community would perceive value in resource
integration: is there value in a “one stop shop”?
• To examine business models developed by existing Resource
centers and assess their application to databases.

CASIMIRWP 7
Integration of Biological collections and material resources into the data
network
Description of work
• Identification and listing of resource centers and mouse databases √
• Direct contacts with scientific responsible persons
• Cataloguing database structures, working practices and long term goals
• Exploring “cost-recovery” business model and financial sustainability for their core activities. This WP will assess how the lessons learned might be applied to database sustainability.

Deliverables
D16: Report of the range of material resources available and how
they might be accessed, including a guide on finding information on
those resources using database queries. Published in the literature
and on the web. This will include a report on potential for adoption
by databases of business models developed by existing Resource
centres.
D15: Months 10,21,33. WP network meetings to coordinate
activities and internal reporting on findings
WP7 1st network meeting September 2007, Athens? Santorini?,
Greece.
Participants will be selected from the Nature publication list
