The Functional Genomics Experiment Object Model (FuGE) supports modelling of experimental processes either directly or through extensions that specialize FuGE for use in specific contexts. FuGE applications commonly include components that capture, store and search experiment descriptions, where the requirements of different applications have much in common.
We describe a toolkit that supports data capture, storage and web-based search of FuGE experiment models; the toolkit can be used directly on FuGE compliant models or configured for use with FuGE extensions. The toolkit is illustrated using a FuGE extension standardized by the proteomics standards initiative, namely GelML.
The toolkit and a demonstration are available at http://code.google.com/p/fugetoolkit
功能基因组学实验对象模型（FuGE）支持直接对实验过程进行建模，或通过专门针对特定上下文使用的FuGE扩展进行建模。FuGE应用程序通常包括捕获、存储和搜索实验描述的组件，不同应用程序的需求有很多共同之处。
我们描述了一个支持对FuGE实验模型进行数据捕获、存储和基于网络搜索的工具包；该工具包可直接用于符合FuGE的模型，或配置为与FuGE扩展一起使用。使用蛋白质组学标准倡议标准化的FuGE扩展GelML对该工具包进行了说明。
