BioCoRE is an acronym for Biological Collaborative
Research Environment
and one of our goals for the project is to be the solution to
all of the collaborative issues in structural biology.
The Resource for Macromolecular
Modeling and Bioinformatics is engaged in a wide range of projects in structural
biology and, in developing BioCoRE, we are
building upon our established experience in developing network-based
software for data communication in visual molecular dynamics. BioCoRE is going to be an integrated, tool-oriented
computing and communication system which will support collaboration in
the field of structural biology. This network-centered
meta-application will:
- improve collaboration between biomedical researchers
located at the same or geographically distant sites;
- facilitate the transparent use of and communication between Resource
and third-party programs, tools, and databases;
- allow researchers to share information, computational and data-storage
resources;
- enable scientists to interact in both synchronous and asynchronous
fashion with each other or the modeling tools through a common
infrastructure;
- enable scientists to initiate new collaborations through its
communication interface and to reduce the need for travel
between collaborating research groups.
BioCoRE will consist of four main areas:
A built-in evaluation component will guarantee an ongoing assessment of
the BioCoRE development and effectiveness of new environment.
