Challenges in data management for functional genomics.
Biological databases face challenges in four main areas: (1). integration, interoperation and federation; (2). ontologies and definitions of semantics; (3). community annotation; and (4). integration of data analysis tools with databases. Each of these areas provides interesting targets for research and development.
