Meeting Purpose
This meeting will provide a forum for curators and developers of biological
databases to discuss their work, promote collaboration, and foster a sense of community
in this very active and growing area of research. Participants from academia, government,
and industry interested in the methods and tools employed in
curation of biological data are encouraged to attend.
