Projects requiring manual curation are domain specific

NIH supported: Physiology modeling,
NSF support: computational modeling approach.
Bottom-up approach to cell modeling: Cross checking of models and HXs: Geometry from segmented images, 2-D visualization of specified reactions: channels, pumps, for extra, intra (cytosol), of core cellular compartments. Generates equations for simulation.
Result is a DB publication cycle, supporting model copying and adaptation.
For access to remote DBs will need more than a browser, but also a query system, with join over association. DBs need APIs and mediation for scalability and mismatch.
