genes, these services offered a competitive advantage, and consequently each
company built and maintained vast internal systems that both took external
public data and merged it with internal private data. However, in the past fi ve
years the public domain has caught up (and in many cases surpassed) the
expensive, heavily customized commercial and proprietary solutions used by
industry.
As a drive to cuts costs, encourage standards, and provide simplifi cation,
the Pistoia Alliance is commissioning a pilot set of secure hosted sequence
services based on the functional and nonfunctional requirements of its
members. These services will provide access to public, private, and commercial
data and tools that will enable scientists to search, store, and analyze all their
sequence-based data in a single Web interface. Additionally data will be
searched and accessed via Web services to allow sophisticated users to fl exibly
retrieve or pipeline data (Fig. 1.6 ).
1.3.4.3 ELN Query Services
The adoption of an electronic laboratory note
book (ELN) within an organization is as much a business change process as
it is a technology project, and so the ELNs have traditionally had to focus on
the role of the experimental scientist entering new information and ensuring
this process is managed and effi cient. In areas where ELNs have been used
for a few years, such as supporting chemistry synthesis (medicinal chemistry,
