HMS -- Hyperlink Management System
URL:
What you can do:
Use to manage hyperlinks between major biological databases.
Highlights:
- Hyperlink Management System (HMS) is a system for automatically updating and maintaining hyperlinks among major public databases in the field of life science.
- Corresponding tables of data IDs of major databases for human genes and proteins are created daily.
- A CGI-program that returns correct and up-to-date URLs for showing data of various databases that correspond to user-specified IDs is provided.
- The HMS can deal with various IDs: accession numbers of International Nucleotide Sequence Databases, HUGO Gene Symbols and IDs of UniProt, PDB, H-InvDB and others, and it can return URLs of various databases: H-InvDB, HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee Database, NCBI Entrez Gene, UniProt, PDB and others. For example, 23 297 pages of Locus view of H-InvDB are reachable by using HUGO Gene Symbols through the HMS.
- Not only the CGI-program, the HMS provides a Web page for finding and opening URLs of these databases.
- Although hyperlinking is an effective way of relating biological data among different databases, updating hyperlinks has been a laborious work.
- The HMS fully automates the job, enabling maintenance-free hyperlinks.
- The ID Converter System (ICS) for simply converting data IDs by using corresponding tables in the HMS is also available.
