    90 Currently the available public resources like SRA, GEO, ArrayExpress, Cibex[http://cibex.nig.ac.jp/index.jsp] are only providing query facilities on the metadata of the experiments surrounding the data.  The data is available as files to download (often in the original format) but they do not provide facilities to externally explore the data and ask biological questions on the data.  This then forces anyone who wants to explore the dataset to download this data into local integration systems before they can ask their biological questions.

    9292But not all data is public.  Research centers who generate this data need to manage it and explore it in order to produce publications and do science.  This means they need the same or greater sophistication of tools than are available on the public services.  Many of these research projects are often collaborative and international, which means this private datasets need to be accessible on the web, but protected and secured.  These "collaboration webservices" are often then made public when the research is published (for example the FANTOM4 project).
