openBIS is a free extensible open-source biological information management system designed "to support biological research data workflows from the source (i.e. the measurement instruments) to facilitate the process of answering biological questions by means of cross-domain queries against raw data, processed data, knowledge resources and its corresponding metadata." [4]
Product history
The earliest known development version of openBIS is v0.14 from December 6, 2007[1], though earlier work on the system may have been developed "with a privately held biopharmaceutical company."[2] Development was headed by ETH Zurich in collaboration with the Biozentrum of the University of Basel, the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, as well as other academic groups in Switzerland and Europe.[2] The first public release of openBIS occurred in late-April 2008 as v8.04.[5] By January 2009 the team had patched the public release to version 8.04.5.[6] On April 21, 2010, the development team announced after 8.04.5 the software would be "completely rewritten to be a flexible framework rather than a system with fixed functionality."[7]
As of April 23, 2013, the 8.04.5 public version remains deprecated, and a series of "sprint releases" occur on the development version.[8] Despite the last stable release occurring in 2009, development on the software has been steady, with the latest development snapshot S154 appearing April 10, 2013.[9] It's not clear when the project team expects the next official stable release to be made.
