EDIT: Easy-to-use Bio-Data Extraction, Integration and Refreshing Tools

Systems biology research demands the ability to construct custom-designed bio-entities from heterogeneous data sources. EDIT is an ongoing project aimed at building a system to allow bio-researchers with minimum computer proficiency to define the structure of a desired bio-entity, and identify the data sources for its data fields. Then, the system automatically extracts and output the data in the predefined structure and format. The system consists of a host site, which maintains and updates the configuration files specified for source databases, and user sites, which perform data extraction and integration by using the configuration files. An event-trigger-rule server is used to support data refreshing and to notify biologists about changes made to source databases
