DISCO is an information integration approach designed to facilitate interoperation among Internet resources. It consists of a set of tools and services that allows resource providers who maintain information to share it with automated systems such as NIF. NIF is then able to harvest the information and keep those sets of information up-to-date. How is this accomplished? By using a series of files and/or scripts which are then placed in the root directory of the resource developer''s resource. (NIF can also host the files on its servers and crawl for changes there.) Once the files of the resource providers are in place, and DISCO is notified, the DISCO server can then recognize and consume the information shared, providing machine understandable information to NIF Integrator Servers (also known as Aggregators) about your resource. What can DISCO do for my resource? * Inform search engines about your resource and keep your NIF Registry resource description up-to-date. * Expose your data (semi-structured datasets or fields within your structured database) through NIF''s Data Federation you choose what data will be shared. * Create links from an NCBI database (e.g., PubMed, Protein, Nucleotide, etc.) to your data records in NIF using Entrez LinkOut. * Advertise your terminology or ontological information. * Share your resource''s news with the NIF community., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.

Service that partners with the community to expose and simultaneously drill down into individual databases and data sets and return relevant content. This type of content, part of the so called hidden Web, is typically not indexed by existing web search engines. Every record links back to the originating site. In order for NIF to directly query these independently maintained databases and datasets, database providers must register their database or dataset with the NIF Data Federation and specify permissions. Databases are concept mapped for ease of sharing and to allow better understanding of the results. Learn more about registering your resource, http://neuinfo.org/nif_components/disco/interoperation.shtm Search results are displayed under the Data Federation tab and are categorized by data type and nervous system level. In this way, users can easily step through the content of multiple resources, all from the same interface. Each federated resource individually displays their query results with links back to the relevant datasets within the host resource. This allows users to take advantage of additional views on the data and tools that are available through the host database. The NIF site provides tutorials for each resource, indicated by the Professor Icon professor icon showing users how to navigate the results page once directed there through the NIF. Additionally, query results may be exported as an Excel document. Note: NIF is not responsible for the availability or content of these external sites, nor does NIF endorse, warrant or guarantee the products, services or information described or offered at these external sites. Integrated Databases: Theses virtual databases created by NIF and other partners combine related data indexed from multiple databases and combine them into one view for easier browsing. * Integrated Animal View * Integrated Brain Gene Expression View * Integrated Disease View * Integrated Nervous System Connectivity View * Integrated Podcasts View * Integrated Software View * Integrated Video View * Integrated Jobs * Integrated Blogs For a listing of the Federated Databases see, http://neuinfo.org/mynif/databaseList.php or refer to the Resources Listed by NIF Data Federation table below.
