Microarray technologies are a relatively new development that allow biologists to monitor the activity of thousands of genes (normally around 8,000) in parallel across multiple stages of a biological process. While this new perspective on biological... Read More about Animated interval scatter-plot views for the exploratory analysis of large scale microarray time-course data..

‘Classic’ accounts of social capital have emerged in accounts of stable networks or institutional environments. These conditions do not apply in the case of many firms – a case in point being small firm networks that rely on rapid turnover of pr...

Groups of organisms require labels or names to refer to them; however, the idea of a single static name index, although tempting for its simplicity, is both impractical and unadvisable as a basis for referring to organisms for which data has been col...

A Java-based program is presented that provides a visualisation tool for display of and comparison between classification hierarchies. Taxa, or groups of taxa, can be tracked across multiple, overlapping classifications. Recognition of congruence and...

Implementation of the Prometheus Taxonomic Model: a comparison of database models and query languages and an introduction to the Prometheus Object-Oriented Model. (2002)
Journal Article
Raguenaud, C., Pullan, M. R., Watson, M. F., Kennedy, J., Newman, M. F., & Barclay, P. J. (2002). Implementation of the Prometheus Taxonomic Model: a comparison of database models and query languages and an introduction to the Prometheus Object-Oriented Model. Taxon, 51(1), 131-142. https://doi.org/10.2307/1554970

Types of databases commonly used for handling taxonomic data are compared. It is shown that none of the existing types of databases fully support the requirements of taxonomic data. The results of this comparison provide a rationale for the design an...

Model-based user interface development environments show promise for improving the productivity of user-interface developers and possibly for improving the quality of developed interfaces. While model-based techniques have previously been applied to... Read More about Teallach: a model-based user interface development environment for object databases.

The Prometheus Taxonomic Model: a practical approach to representing multiple classification. (2000)
Journal Article

A model for representing taxonomic data in a flexible and dynamic system capable of handling and comparing multiple simultaneous classifications is presented. The Prometheus Taxonomic Model takes as its basis the idea that a taxon can be circumscribe...

Current object-oriented (OO) modelling techniques emphasise the static aspects of data objects. Dynamics in general and collaborations between objects in particular tend to be poorly supported and are often treated separately. A full understanding of...
