Category System

The hierarchy in this wiki is following two simultaneous paths. Each article is categorized:

• by task force, or other functional unit (A)
  • Next Generation Sequencing
  • Proteomics
  • Metabolomics
  • Biobanking
  • Interoperability
  • Functional Genomics
  • Systems Bioinformatics
  • E-science, BioAssist Engineering Team
  • BioAssist, BioRange, BioWise
  • NBIC, BiGGrid
• and in one of a series of standard categories (B)
  • Agendas and Minutes for anything related to meetings
  • Conventions for describing the way things are done
  • Events for (semi-)public events
  • Knowledge for knowledge and expertise
  • News for News
  • People and Institutes for anything related to people, institutes and international relationships
  • Project for projects (things developed by NBIC BioAssist)
  • Tools for tools (things used by NBIC BioAssist)

Special "double categories" have been set up to support this classification system: Each of these A / B categories is a subcategory of both A and B. This way, the majority of all pages in the wiki are captured by one single category.

For larger projects or tools:

• If a project or tool is described on multiple pages, then make a subcategory for the project or tool under its own name, and make that a subcat of A / Project or A / Tool
• The B terms can also be used for specific projects or tools: make subcats <Project> / B where needed, and make that a subcat both of <Project> and B

Shared projects and tools:

• A project can be shared by two task forces. Just make its category a subcat of <TaskForceA> / Project as well as <TaskForceB> / Project. Similarly, a Tool that is used in multiple task forces can be put in two categories. Alternatively, if a project or tool is shared between task forces just make it part of Category:BioAssist instead.
