However, there is currently no consensus about how best to achieve this goal.Methodology/Principal Findings: Here we present a community knowledge base for the annotation of biological molecular structures that addresses some of these issues. This Wiki-style database consists of one structured page for each entry in the the Protein Data Bank (PDB) and allows users to attach categorised comments and discussions to the entries. The core data for each entry is shown as a summary and can be used for searching and navigation via categories. A user-editable list of database cross references is automatically included in each page. Like in a database, it is possible to produce tabular reports and ‘structure galleries’ based on user defined queries. PDBWiki runs in parallel to the PDB and is automatically synchronised every week.Conclusions/Significance: PDBWiki is a simple but usable system that serves as a bug-tracker, discussion forum and community annotation system for the structures in the PDB. We believe that PDBWiki can serve as a model for better understanding how to capture community knowledge in the biological sciences. http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/npre.2009.3123.1 Wed, 22 Apr 2009 21:13:20 UTC PDBWiki doi:10.1038/npre.2009.3123.1 2009-04-22 Henning Stehr Nature Precedings 2009-04-22T21:13:20Z Poster Bioinformatics http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ http://precedings.nature.com/documents/1200/version/1 An invited article on Open Chemistry discussing the importance of Open Access and Open Data and stressing the emerging role of the blogosphere http://precedings.nature.com/documents/1200/version/1 Tue, 02 Oct 2007 08:55:41 UTC Open Chemistry hdl:10101/npre.2007.1200.1 2007-10-02 Peter Murray-Rust Nature Precedings 2007-10-02T08:55:41Z Manuscript Chemistry http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/ http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/npre.2007.153.1 This presentation introduces new web-based ways of scientific communication and collaboration.
