title: The Microcirculation Physiome Project.
abstract: Presented is a discussion of steps towards the creation of a database of the microcirculation encompassing anatomical and functional experimental data, and conceptual and computational models. The discussion includes issues of database utility, organization, data deposition, and linkage to other databases. The database will span levels from gene to tissue and will serve both research and educational purposes.
