Subject field(s)
  • Data Banks and Databases
DEF

A collection of computer files containing the operational data of an organization.

CONT

In the absence of a suitable crystal structure, computer methods must predict protein conformation from sequence. The most powerful approaches for structure prediction are based on sequence homology or a more general analogy with known crystal structures. Improvements in these methods will require access to data bases containing the basic motifs of protein architecture... The database will also enable us to extract and store tertiary motifs... These motifs can then be slotted into a model-building study when, for example, predicting the conformation of an homologous protein.

OBS

The system includes not only the stored information but also the data sublanguage (DSL), a group of subroutines used to retrieve, update, insert, and delete information; and the administrator, the person responsible for the integrity of the data and programs.

IATE (Inter-Active Terminology for Europe) is the EU [European Union] inter-institutional terminology database. IATE has been used in the EU institutions and agencies since summer 2004 for the collection, dissemination and shared management of EU-specific terminology. IATE incorporates all of the existing terminology databases of the EU’s translation services into a single new, highly interactive and accessible interinstitutional database. The following legacy databases have been imported into IATE, which now contains approximately 1.4 million multilingual entries: Eurodicautom (Commission), TIS (Council), Euterpe (EP), Euroterms (Translation Centre), CDCTERM (Court of Auditors).

OBS

TIS is an acronym for the Terminological Information System of The General Secretariat of the Council of the European Union. The system was designed as a working tool for Council translators and has enabled the Terminology Service to provide a database of terms and abbreviations in the languages of the Communities. WebTIS, the terminology database of the Council of the European Union, is about to be replaced by the interinstitutional database IATE. The public version of IATE is now available for testing. It contains all former WebTIS data, plus data added since August 2004.

Le Registre est un outil de recherche inestimable qui permet de retracer l'information relative à ce qui se passe après qu'une personne a subi un traumatisme médullaire. Les fonds collectés grâce à Rouler vers demain ont aidé à faire prendre de l'ampleur au Registre. En effet, il est passé d'un programme pilote réussi à une ressource d'envergure nationale qui viendra appuyer les essais cliniques, repérer de nouveaux domaines de recherche et aider à déterminer les traitements les plus efficaces pour les personnes affectées d'un traumatisme médullaire durant toute leur vie.
