Where responders chose two or more items in a question, their vote was divided by the number of choices they made, e.g. 2 choices each were counted as 0.5. User comments are reported on a separate page.
1. Professional Affiliation (choose one) 15 25% Industry 36 60% Academic 7 12% Government 2 3% Other affiliations ===== ==== 60 100%About the same as last year.
2. Priority for UM-BBD development (choose one)
41 70% More breadth (more pathways, reactions, and/or compounds)
18 30% More depth (more information on each pathway, reaction
and/or compound, or more features, such as search options)
===== ====
60 100%
For the fifth year in a row, uses feel we most need more breadth (more pathways).
3. What is the most useful type of UM-BBD information for you?
(choose one)
28.6 48% Pathways and Metapathways (text, graphics, significance
statements, links to organism information, dynamic pathway
generation)
11.0 18% Reaction (text, graphics, links to literature, sequences,
enzymes)
12.8 21% Enzymes (links to DNA sequences, protein sequences,
protein structures, enzyme databases)
5.8 10% Compound (text, graphics, formula, CAS Reg. Number, links)
1.6 3% Useful Internet Resources page
===== ====
59.8 100%
Pathway information is most useful, and enzyme and reaction information
are also of use.
5. What is your primary use for the database now? (choose one) 19 32% Research 15 25% Research and Development 1 2% Development 0 0% Development and Education 2 3% Education 17 28% Research and Education 6 10% Other use === ==== 60 100%As in past years, research is the major use.
6. Any other comments, suggestions for pathways to include, etc.
