- 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.
