The present article proposes the adoption of a community-defined, uniform, generic description of the core attributes of biological databases, BioDBCore. The goals of these attributes are to provide a general overview of the database landscape, to encourage consistency and interoperability between resources and to promote the use of semantic and syntactic standards. BioDBCore will make it easier for users to evaluate the scope and relevance of available resources. This new resource will increase the collective impact of the information present in biological databases.
本文提议采用一种由社区定义的、统一的、通用的生物数据库核心属性描述，即生物数据库核心（BioDBCore）。这些属性的目标是提供数据库全景的总体概述，鼓励资源之间的一致性和互操作性，并促进语义和句法标准的使用。生物数据库核心将使用户更容易评估现有资源的范围和相关性。这一新资源将增强生物数据库中信息的总体影响力。
