Welcome to the Gene Wiki portal. This portal is dedicated to the goal of applying community intelligence to the annotation of gene and protein function. The Gene Wiki is an informal collection of pages on human genes and proteins, and this effort to develop these pages is tightly coordinated with the Molecular and Cellular Biology Wikiproject. Our specific aims are summarized as follows: * To provide a well written and informative Wikipedia article for every notable human gene * To invite participation by interested lay editors, students, professionals, and academics from around the world * To integrate Gene Wiki articles with existing Wikipedia content through the use of internal wiki links increasing the value of both Please browse around the Gene Wiki, make an edit to your favorite gene page, and feel free to ask questions!

Not a few biologists tend to consider wiki as a solution to manage and reorganize data by a community. However, in its basic functionality, wiki lacks a measure to check data consistency and is not suitable for a database. To circumvent this pitfall, installation of page dependency through in-line page searches is necessary. We also introduce two existing approaches that support in-line queries.

WikiGenes is the first wiki system to combine the collaborative and largely altruistic possibilities of wikis with explicit authorship. In view of the extraordinary success of Wikipedia there remains no doubt about the potential of collaborative publishing, yet its adoption in science has been limited. Here I discuss a dynamic collaborative knowledge base for the life sciences that provides authors with due credit and that can evolve via continual revision and traditional peer review into a rigorous scientific

The purpose of this wiki is to provide a home for community contributions from across Europe, to create a dynamic and updatable picture of open access activity in the EU.

This semantic wiki at OpenResearch.org aims at making the world of science more visible and accessible. Everybody can add his favorite events (e.g. conferences and workshops), co-workers, tools / datasets, community fora or journals. Pooled together these pieces of information constitute a vast knowledge base about who and what moves science forward.

The advent of the World Wide Web has led to an explosion in the number of diverse resources available to neuroscientists. Despite the availability of powerful search engines, locating these diverse resources has become increasingly difficult and time consuming. The NIF project utilizes both advanced machine-based search technologies and old-fashioned human legwork to provide access to neuroscience-relevant resources on the Web. Resources include research materials, Web pages, software tools, data sets, literature and general information. The NIF has developed technologies that allow a user to search across these different types of resources, all from a single interface. A unique feature of the NIF is the ability to issue direct queries against multiple databases simultaneously, retrieving content that is largely hidden from traditional search engines. A second unique feature is an extensive vocabulary covering major neuroscience domains for describing and searching these resources. The NIF takes advantage of advances in knowledge engineering to broaden and refine searches based on related concepts. The NIF beta test site was developed to gain feedback on the NIF search interface and content. Users will be asked to search the NIF, explore the vocabularies, and answer a questionnaire about their experience.

Welcome to the NIH WikiProject, a collaboration area and group of editors dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of National Institutes of Health. This is a new WikiProject, so please join!! (For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProject and the Guide to WikiProjects). Goals * Improve Wikipedia's current coverage of the NIH and deepen the coverage with more pages. Scope * Cover all of the Institutes all the way down to individual laboratories/units.

OpenCV is an open source computer vision library originally developed by Intel. It is free for commercial and research use under a BSD license. The library is cross-platform, and runs on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux. It focuses mainly towards real-time image processing, as such, if it finds Intel's Integrated Performance Primitives on the system, it will use these commercial optimized routines to accelerate itself. This implementation is not a complete port of OpenCV. Currently, this library supports : * real-time capture * video file import * basic image treatment (brightness, contrast, threshold, …) * object detection (face, body, …) * blob detection Future versions will include more advanced functions such as motion analysis, object and color tracking, multiple OpenCV object instances … For more information about OpenCV visit the Open Source Computer Vision Library Intel webpage, the OpenCV Library Wiki, and the OpenCV Reference Manual (pdf).

mobibot is the #mobitopia IRC channel bot. It is built on Paul Mutton's PircBot Java-based Framework. mobibot is making extensive use of various open source libraries, including: * Commons CLI * Commons HTTPClient * Commons Logging * Commons Net * delicious-java * Google Tag Library * JWeather * MathEvaluator * Rome * Apache XML-RPC * Twitter4J mobibot was written by Erik C. Thauvin as a replacement for the channel's original ChumpBot. Features mobibot's main functionality is to capture URLs posted on the channel. The URLs are automatically gathered into a publishable RSS feed. Other features include: * Performing calculations * Converting between currencies * Rolling dice * Performing Google searches * Displaying the latest entries on Mobitopia * Performing DNS lookups * Recapping public channel messages * Performing Google spelling queries * Retrieving stock quotes * Displaying the time in various time zones * Listing the users on the channel * Displaying weather information * Posting to Jaiku's #mobitopia channel * Posting to Twitter Some of the internal features include RSS feed backlogs, rolling logs, debugging toggle and much more. If you have any feature suggestions, please post them to the mobibot wiki.
