Extensible open source content management systems and frameworks: a solution for many needs of a bioinformatics group

@article{citeulike:2416352, abstract = {A common challenge for bioinformaticians, in either academic or industry laboratory environments, is providing informatic solutions via the Internet or through a web browser. Recently, the open source community began developing tools for building and maintaining web applications for many disciplines. These content management systems (CMS) provide many of the basic needs of an informatics group, whether in a small company, a group within a larger organisation or an academic laboratory. These tools aid in managing software development, website development, document development, course development, datasets, collaborations and customers. Since many of these tools are extensible, they can be developed to support other research-specific activities, such as handling large biomedical datasets or deploying bioanalytic tools. In this review of open source website management tools, the basic features of content management systems are discussed along with commonly used open source software. Additionally, some examples of their use in biomedical research are given. 10.1093/bib/bbm057}, author = {Mooney, Sean D. and Baenziger, Peter H. }, citeulike-article-id = {2416352}, doi = {10.1093/bib/bbm057}, journal = {Brief Bioinform}, keywords = {bioinformatics, cms, lims, opensource, review}, month = {January}, number = {1}, pages = {69--74}, posted-at = {2008-02-23 01:32:00}, priority = {2}, title = {Extensible open source content management systems and frameworks: a solution for many needs of a bioinformatics group}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/bib/bbm057}, volume = {9}, year = {2008} }
