By allowing users to freely modify and add to the database, it will become possible for these databases to grow in ways that would not be feasible by an entirely self-contained system. SoftwareSeek and GenomeSeek are all included in the project. SoftwareSeek is a database of scientific software, containing links to the relevant sites, the platform the program runs on, and a classification. GenomeSeek lists all microbial genome projects - either complete or in progress. Fields include a description of the organism, the size of the genome, the domain of the organism, links to the project's web site, and a list of references related to describing the organism and the sequencing project.
Any user can add or modify the databases.
To modify an entry, simply click the 'Edit' link while viewing the records. To add a new entry just click the 'Submit New Entry' link. The forms have been designed to make addition and modification of records a very simple and quick process. No, just fill in the fields you know. The idea is that, it is the many fragments of knowledge contributed by various users combined that makes the resource as a whole useful.
