title: EUROCarbDB(CCRC): a EUROCarbDB node for storing glycomics standard data.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  In the field of glycomics research, several different techniques are used for structure elucidation. Although multiple techniques are often used to increase confidence in structure assignments, most glycomics databases allow storing of only a single type of experimental data. In addition, the methods used to prepare a sample for analysis is seldom recorded making it harder to reproduce the analytical data and results.
  
  
  RESULTS
  We have extended the freely available EUROCarbDB framework to allow the submission of experimental data and the reporting of several orthogonal experimental datasets. The features aim to increase the understandability and reproducibility of the reported data.
  
  
  METHODS
  The installation with the glycan standards is available at http://glycomics.ccrc.uga.edu/eurocarb/. The source code of the project is available at https://code.google.com/p/ucdb/.
  
  
  BACKGROUND
  Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
