title: HuGeMap: a distributed and integrated Human Genome Map database.
abstract: The HuGeMap database stores the major genetic and physical maps of the human genome. It is also interconnected with the gene radiation hybrid mapping database RHdb. HuGeMap is accessible through a Web server for interactive browsing at URL http://www.infobiogen. fr/services/Hugemap , as well as through a CORBA server for effective programming. HuGeMap is intended as an attempt to build open, interconnected databases, that is databases that distribute their objects worldwide in compliance with a recognized standard of distribution. Maps can be displayed and compared with a java applet (http://babbage.infobiogen.fr:15000/Mappet/Show. html ) that queries the HuGeMap ORB server as well as the RHdb ORB server at the EBI.
