Every research laboratory has a wealth of biomedical data locked up, which, if shared with other experts, could dramatically improve biomedical and healthcare research. With the PhysiomeSpace service, it is now possible with a few clicks to share with selected users biomedical data in an easy, controlled and safe way. The digital library service is managed using a client-server approach. The client application is used to import, fuse and enrich the data information according to the PhysiomeSpace resource ontology and upload/download the data to the library. The server services are hosted on the Biomed Town community portal, where through a web interface, the user can complete the metadata curation and share and/or publish the data resources. A search service capitalizes on the domain ontology and on the enrichment of metadata for each resource, providing a powerful discovery environment. Once the users have found the data resources they are interested in, they can add them to their basket, following a metaphor popular in e-commerce web sites. When all the necessary resources have been selected, the user can download the basket contents into the client application. The digital library service is now in beta and open to the biomedical research community.
每个研究实验室都有大量的生物医学数据被锁定，如果与其他专家共享，将极大地促进生物医学和医疗保健研究。借助 PhysiomeSpace 服务，现在只需点击几下，就可以以简单、可控和安全的方式与选定的用户共享生物医学数据。数字图书馆服务采用客户端-服务器方法进行管理。客户端应用程序用于根据 PhysiomeSpace 资源本体导入、融合和丰富数据信息，并将数据上传/下载到库中。服务器服务托管在 Biomed Town 社区门户上，用户可以通过 Web 界面完成元数据整理，并共享和/或发布数据资源。搜索服务利用领域本体和每个资源的元数据丰富性，提供了强大的发现环境。一旦用户找到他们感兴趣的数据资源，他们就可以将其添加到他们的购物篮中，这是电子商务网站中常用的比喻。选择完所有必要的资源后，用户可以将购物篮内容下载到客户端应用程序中。数字图书馆服务目前处于测试阶段，并向生物医学研究社区开放。
