VIRGIL - A DATABASE OF RICH LINKS BETWEEN GDB AND GENBANK

Database interconnection requires the development of links between rel ated objects from different databases, We built a database of links, c alled Virgil, to manage and distribute rich (documented) links between GDB genes and GenBank human sequences. Virgil contains 18 667 unique links, In addition to a simple Web form for ad-hoc queries, we propose a generic Web interface and a prototype CORBA server for link distrib ution, Materials described in this paper are available from http://www .infobiogen.fr/services/virgil/home.html
