Area of Science:

  • * Glycosciences
  • * Computational Biology
  • * Digital Humanities

Background:

  • * Internet-based virtual resources are rapidly expanding, driven by the World Wide Web, affordable computing, and provider services.
  • * Prior to 1995, glycoscience resources on the Internet were scarce, with knowledge primarily shared via gopher and ftp sites.
  • * Existing databases like Carbbank offered limited access to biological carbohydrate sequence data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • * To describe the establishment and initiatives of The Glycoscience Network (TGN) in 1994-95.
  • * To detail the innovations of the First Electronic Glycoscience Conference (EGC-1).
  • * To project future virtual resource developments and their impact on glycoscience research and collaboration.

Main Methods:

  • * Establishment of a dedicated newsgroup and mailing lists for the glycoscience community.

  • * Development of Web-based resources, including a Virtual Conference Centre and hyperglossary.
  • * Hosting the First Electronic Glycoscience Conference (EGC-1) with novel features like electronic posters, refereed publishing, and a Virtual Reality Gallery.

    • Main Results:

    • * Successful creation of The Glycoscience Network (TGN) and its associated online resources.
    • * Innovative virtual conference model demonstrated through EGC-1, featuring electronic publications and interactive elements.
    • * Laying the groundwork for future bioinformatics servers, interactive databases, and videoconferencing in glycoscience.

    Conclusions:

    • * Virtual resources have the potential to significantly advance glycoscience research and foster international collaboration.
    • * Future developments in bioinformatics and interactive databases are expected to create sophisticated tools for glycoscientists.
    • * The evolution of virtual resources may fundamentally reshape the scientific landscape, offering substantial benefits and challenges.
