ITIS Database in Oracle script files?

2006-08-28T15:56:35Z

Hi Diane,
I ran across your 2002 letter on the Internet and was curious if you
ever found the script files for converting the ITIS database to Oracle?
I am facing the same task. I have found directions for converting it to
MySQL but was hoping that maybe the ORACLE conversion was available.
Thank you for reading my letter and any advice you can give on this matter.
Sincerely,
Nancy E. Roberson

Hi, I am not sure if this is the right newsgroup or not... so apologize
in advance if it is not! I am working on a project to catalog several
collections of scientific data. I plan on using the taxonomy database
from ITIS (Integrated Taxonomic Information System) as the taxa
reference for this database and have downloaded the full database in
Informix format from their site. My question is - does anybody have the
script files for converting this database to Oracle? I emailed ITIS and
they said they know it has been done but could not give me any
references to people who have done it. Thanks for any advice, Dina
Newsham Northern Arizona University

AIMS AND SCOPE
==============

The Second International Conference on Algebraic Biology, AB'07, is an
international forum to promote discussion and interaction between
researchers who intend to apply symbolic computation - computer algebra
and computational logic - to various issues in biology.

The conference covers all aspects of applications of algebraic and
logic methods in biology, including, but not restricted to:

* polynomial methods
* group theoretical methods
* rewriting methods
* automated reasoning methods
* automata methods
* formal language methods
* combinatoric methods
* symbolic-numeric algorithms (sequential, parallel, distributed,
grid processing)

for

* mathematical modeling
* model identification
* system analysis and design
* system verification
* parameter fitting
* genome comparison
* sequence and structure analysis
* evolutionary analysis
* network inference
* optimization

and other problems in biology.

SUBMISSION
==========

Authors are invited to submit original papers that have not been submitted
for publication elsewhere. Submissions should be at most 15 pages including
references, prepared in LaTeX and formatted according to the Springer llncs
style (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). Additional material
intended for the referees but not for publication in the final version may
be placed in a clearly marked appendix that is not included in the page limit.

Submitted papers will be peer-reviewed, and the accepted papers will appear
in the proceedings before the Conference. We are currently negotiating with
Springer to publish the proceedings within the Lecture Notes in Computer
Science (LNCS) series.

Call for Participation

In-Silico Analysis of Proteins: celebrating the 20th anniversary of
Swiss-Prot, Fortaleza (Brazil), July 29^th - August 4^th 2006

The Swiss-Prot knowledgebase is celebrating 20 years of service to the
scientific community.
And to mark this anniversary, the Swiss-Prot group of the Swiss
Institute of Bioinformatics is currently organizing a major conference

anniversary of Swiss-Prot" (http://www.swissprot20.org).

The five day event will cover themes such as knowledgebases, sequence
searches and alignments, protein sequence analysis, protein structure
prediction, analysis and visualization, as well as proteomics data
analysis. 47 internationally renowned speakers will be present and about
1000 participants are expected worldwide.

REGISTRATION

Hi my name is Nancy and i am studying bioinformatics. I am quite
confused about a topic and was hoping that you could help me.
I was wondering if you could explain to me the principals behind
Dayhoffs Pam250 and Henikoff's Blosum62. How are the created and what
is the point of them please.Also how are they used.

Thank you for your time
