Neuroinformatics infrastructure for Interoperability of repositories developed by J-Node

RIKEN, Brain Science Institute, Japan
INCF National Node of Japan (J-Node for short) has been promoting both domestic and international neuroinformatics activities by providing neuroscience platforms (web databases) in individual research fields and infrastructures common to the platforms J-Node counted 13th platform this spring, on which one can find data-model-tool in individual fields, an environment for live simulation of models and tools, tutorial contents and so on. Most of these platforms are commonly developed and managed by utilizing XooNIps, a content management system developed at RIKEN BSI. J-Node portal is open at http://www.neuroinf.jp/.
J-Node now aims to further promote the utility beyond different research fields or repositories and to serve for comprehensive research interests in the brain science. Simulation platform for an instantaneous on-line use of mathematical models currently offers more than 250 models and tools including all models of ModelDB (SenseLab at Yale University). Recently, J-Node launched a cross-site searching system throughout databases on OAI-PMH based protocol. This allows you to find any data on J-Node’s platforms from anywhere using metadata schema, Dublin Core, JuNii2, Gene Terms having title, creator, etc. So far, 12 repositories in J-Node with more than 60,000 contents and biomedical and genomic information in National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database are available through this system.
In addition, the utility of the search system at individual J-Node Platforms and mutual link of relevant data among the platforms by using the common metadata format are under development. Thus, our approaches should accelerate collaboration with INCF, nodes and groups working on databases together and finally exchanging researcher’s knowledge and outputs.
