Abstract

Data resources are essential for the long-term preservation of scientific data and the reproducibility of science. The SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics provides the life science community with a portfolio of openly accessible, high-quality databases and software platforms, which vary from expert-curated knowledgebases, such as UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot (part of the UniProt consortium) and STRING, to online platforms such as SWISS-MODEL and SwissDrugDesign. SIB's mission is to ensure that these resources are available in the long term, as long as their return on investment and their scientific impact are high. To this end, SIB provides its resources, in addition to stable financial support, with a range of high-quality, innovative services that are, to our knowledge, unique in the field. Through this first-class management framework with central services, such as user-centric consulting activities, legal support, open-science guidance, knowledge sharing and training efforts, SIB supports the promotion of excellence in resource development and operation. This review presents the ecosystem of data resources at SIB; the process used for the identification, evaluation and development of resources; and the support activities that SIB provides. A set of indicators has been put in place to select the resources and establish quality standards, reflecting their multifaceted nature and complexity. Through this paper, the reader will discover how SIB's leading tools and databases are fostered by the institute, leading them to be best-in-class resources able to tackle the burning matters that society faces from disease outbreaks and cancer to biodiversity and open science.

Abstract

Data resources are essential for the long-term preservation of scientific data and the reproducibility of science. The SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics provides the life science community with a portfolio of openly accessible, high-quality databases and software platforms, which vary from expert-curated knowledgebases, such as UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot (part of the UniProt consortium) and STRING, to online platforms such as SWISS-MODEL and SwissDrugDesign. SIB’s mission is to ensure that these resources are available in the long term, as long as their return on investment and their scientific impact are high. To this end, SIB provides its resources, in addition to stable financial support, with a range of high-quality, innovative services that are, to our knowledge, unique in the field. Through this first-class management framework with central services, such as user-centric consulting activities, legal support, open-science guidance, knowledge sharing and training efforts, SIB supports the promotion of excellence in resource development and operation. This review presents the ecosystem of data resources at SIB; the process used for the identification, evaluation and development of resources; and the support activities that SIB provides. A set of indicators has been put in place to select the resources and establish quality standards, reflecting their multifaceted nature and complexity. Through this paper, the reader will discover how SIB’s leading tools and databases are fostered by the institute, leading them to be best-in-class resources able to tackle the burning matters that society faces from disease outbreaks and cancer to biodiversity and open science.
