2nd Hands-on meeting, DKFZ Heidelberg, Germany, January 26-27, 2006


The main purpose of this meeting is to make decisions on various fundamental definitions, which will constitute as foundations for future developments of the EUROCarbDB central database as well as the network. The different topics have been intensively discussed in the forum. There are areas, where more than one proposal exists. It is the mission of the assigned coordinators to summarise and evaluate the discussions and to provide a summary with a suggestion for adoption which definitions / schemata shall be adopted for EUROCarbDB.
Ideally, these proposals should be available before the meeting and made available through the forum. To speed up the discussions, the coordinators should provide drafts of tasks lists. The coordinators will write minutes of the decisions made.
As a guest speaker, Phil Toukach from the N.D. Zelinsky Institute Moscow, will give us an overview of the current status of the Bacterial Carbohydrate Structure Database he is managing.
