Registry of Standard Biological Models/Registry organization

Scope

• Define features of the future Registry of BioBrick Models:
  • Supported parts and associated models.
  • Supported user actions (edit, browse, search ...)
• Specify interactions with the existing physical DNA Registry.
• Detail choices in term of implementation.

Implementation

• The registry of BioBrick models will be implemented as a new Registry (run on a different server than the DNA registry).
• At first, a full integration within the mediaWiki framework will be explored:
  • models will be curated as standard wiki pages.
  • possible need to implement Special Pages or Extensions.
• interactions with the DNA Registry might require changes on the DNA Registry side.
