Biologists are frequently faced with the problem of integrating information from multiple heterogeneous sources with their own experimental data. Given the large number of public sources, it is difficult to choose which sources to integrate without assistance. When doing this manually, biologists differ in their preferences concerning the sources to be queried as well as the strategies, i.e. the querying process they follow for navigating through the sources. In response to these findings, we have developed BioGuide to assist scientists search for relevant data within external sources while taking their preferences and strategies into account. In this article, we present BioGuideSRS, a user-friendly system which automatically retrieves instances of data by using BioGuide on top of the sequence retrieval system (SRS). BioGuideSRS is an Applet that can be run from its web page on any system with Java 5.0.
生物学家经常面临将来自多个异构源的信息与他们自己的实验数据进行整合的问题。鉴于大量的公共数据源，在没有辅助的情况下很难选择要整合哪些数据源。当手动进行此项工作时，生物学家在有关要查询的数据源以及策略（即他们在浏览数据源时遵循的查询过程）的偏好方面存在差异。针对这些发现，我们开发了BioGuide，以帮助科学家在考虑其偏好和策略的同时在外部数据源中搜索相关数据。在本文中，我们介绍BioGuideSRS，这是一个用户友好的系统，它通过在序列检索系统（SRS）之上使用BioGuide来自动检索数据实例。BioGuideSRS是一个小程序，可以在任何安装了Java 5.0的系统上从其网页运行。
