BIODIVERSITY INFORMATICS: MANAGING KNOWLEDGE BEYOND HUMANS AND MODEL ORGANISMS

摘要

In the biomedical domain, researchers strive to organize and describe organisms within the context of health and epidemiology. In the biodiversity domain, researchers seek to understand how organisms relate to one another, either historically through evolution or spatially and geographically in the environment. Currently, there is limited cross-communication between these domains. As a result, valuable knowledge that could inform studies in either domain often goes unnoticed.
