The LiMB (LIsting of Molecular Biology databases) database
is a computer-based collection of information on molecular
biology and related databases. LiMB is intended to facili-
tate locating and accessing these databases as well as to
provide an ``overview'' that will help in developing a sys-
tematic, coordinated approach to designing, developing and
maintaining these databases.
Each entry in LiMB currently consists of 57 fields, includ-
ing: database staff names and addresses; database mainte-
nance hardware and software; scope of coverage and database
goals; details about submission and access to the data sets;
database size; and types of data covered by the database.
LiMB entries are based on questionnaires filled out by the
database managers or, in the absence of a completed ques-
tionnaire, on secondary sources (e.g., a journal article).
LiMB is currently maintained in a relational DBMS.
