EMBL sequence submission system—an object-oriented approach to developing interactive data collection systems through the WWW

Benny Shomer

EMBL Outstation—the European Bioinformatics Institute, Wellcome Trust Genome Campus Hinxton, Cambridge CB10 1SD, UK Email bshomer{at}ebi.ac.uk

Motivation: To enable a new way of submitting sequence information to the EMBL nucleotide database through the WWW. This process of data submission is long and complex, and calls for efficient and user-friendly mechanisms for collection and validation of information.

Results: Described here is a generic, object-oriented data-submission system that is being used for the EMBL database, but can easily be tailored to serve several data-submission schemes with a relatively short development and implementation time. The program provides the user with a friendly interface that breaks the complex task into smaller, more manageable tasks and, on the other hand, acts as a pre-filter, scanning errors online.

Availability: The program is accessible through the EMBL-EBl WWW server at the URL: http: //www.ebi.ac.uk/subs/ emblsubs.html
