Hi folks,
One resource that is likely to be of use in the pathway space is
the pathguide:
It has detailed statistics about the size of each database and other
metadata for about 222 biological pathway databases.
This is the target space for conversion to BioPAX.
Sincerely,
Jeremy

Subject: Size estimates of current LS space
As per today's Telcon, does any person with genomics knowledge (that
includes you too Carole) have estimates for the following numbers:
1. How many bio-molecular and organism-anatomical-functional entities
and records (broad sense) are currently accessible through the web
(excluding LIMS entities, such as samples, for now)?
2. Does this number grow substantially when it is allowed to include
every variant of protein, gene, etc. per species (i.e., not
instances of
real molecules or organisms)?
I think these would be quite useful for other W3C members to be aware
of, since some proposed mechanisms would require their global
indexing...
Eric
