Abstract
We report in this paper on the development of data management tools that allow scientists to construct and manipulate genomic databases in terms of application-specific objects and protocols. We are developing tools for specifying genomic database structures, as well as for entering, changing, maintaining, browsing and querying data in genomic databases. These tools are based on the Object-Protocol Model (OPM) developed by us and target commercial relational database management systems which are widely used in molecular biology laboratories. OPM allows scientists to interact with genomic databases in terms of their own frame of reference, namely genomic objects and protocols. Databases developed using the data management tools are easier to use, manage, and adapt.
