Excerpt

SYNOPSIS:

BD2K Aztec is a global biomedical resource discovery index that allows users to simultaneously search a diverse array of tools. The resources indexed include web services, standalone software, publications, and large libraries composed of many interrelated functions. Aztec will ensure that software tools remain findable in the long term by issuing persistent DOIs and routinely updating metadata for the entire index. Aztec’s established ontologies and robust API support the programmatic query of its entire database, as well as the construction of indexes for specialized subdomains. Aztec is currently in its alpha-release phase (version 1.1), in which it is being evaluated and tested by internal users at UCLA, as well as invited external users at Sage Bionetworks, TSRI, and EMBL-EBI. Their feedback and comments have been documented and incorporated into Aztec's next release.
