Abstract: Biology is an information-driven science. Large-scale
data sets from genomics, physiology, population genetics and
imaging are driving research at a dizzying rate. Simultaneously,
interdisciplinary collaborations among experimental biologists,
theorists, statisticians and computer scientists have become the
key to making effective use of these data sets. However, too many
biologists have trouble accessing and using these electronic data
sets and tools effectively. A 'cyberinfrastructure' is a
combination of databases, network protocols and computational
services that brings people, information and computational tools
together to perform science in this information-driven world. This
article reviews the components of a biological cyberinfrastructure,
discusses current and pending implementations, and notes the many
challenges that lie ahead.
The potentially interesting thing about this paper is ...

... it is accompanied by a wiki-version which they (NPG) are
encouraging users to update.
