The BioBricks Foundation:Standards/Technical/Exchange/Old Discussion

Data Exchange Standards

This working group aims to define standards for the description of biobricks and formats / technologies for the exchange (or networking) of biobrick-related data.

This falls into the following questions (Discuss and answer!):

0. Aim / Application scenarios

1. What is a Biobrick?

2. What is the data model needed to describe a biobrick?

3. What is the best format / technology for exchange?

Aim / Application scenarios for this standard

Application scenarios [please discuss]:

• data exchange between local / central part registries

_{Example: "We have a local registry and want to publish the finished Biobricks to the MIT registry." See [[ http://brickit.wiki.sourceforge.net/ | BrickIt project]] for an example local registry system.}
