MetaBase acknowledgements
From MetaBase
For we are like tree trunks in the snow. In appearance they lie sleekly and a little push should be enough to set them rolling. No, it can't be done, for they are firmly wedded to the ground. But see, even that is only appearance. -- Franz Kafka.
- Special thanks to all the contributors!
- The original MetaBase concept was developed on Bioinformatics.Org as part of the BioNeeds project.
- The BioNeeds project was the result of a failed 'student responsibility' project at the MRC-Dunn Human Nutrition Unit http://www.mrc-dunn.cam.ac.uk/
- MetaBase was 'seeded' with text from the Nucleic Acids Research (NAR) 2007 Database Issue 'Database Summaries' cite by kind permission of Oxford University Press.
- The NAR content was parsed using Perl (http://www.perl.org/) and loaded using the Python WikiPedia Robot Framework (http://pywikipediabot.sourceforge.net/).
- DB wishes to thank Jong Park http://jongpark.net and BiO http://bio.cc/
- Thanks to the Biowiki contents competition http://biowiki.net
The MetaBase project was inspired by BiO.
