Fifteen experts identified and discussed some of the most important issues raised by the current flood of biologic data. Topics explored included the importance of database curation, database integration and interoperability, consistency and standards in terminology, error prevention and correction, data provenance, ontology, the importance of maintaining privacy, data mining, and the need for more computer scientists with specialty training in bioinformatics. Although formal conclusions and recommendations will not come from this particular workshop, many insights may be gleaned about the future of this field, from the context of the discussions and presentations described here.Medical informaticsCongressesBiotechnology industriesCongressesElectronic data processingCongressesMedical informaticsBiotechnology industriesElectronic data processing610/.285Pool Robert1955-288454Esnayra Joan1851693National Research Council (U.S.).Board on BiologyMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910971037103321Bioinformatics4445923UNINA
