I am afraid that a sentence like "SIMAP is to our knowledge" is not appropriate for a wikipedia entry. Who is "us"? It sounds like the developers of SIMAP speaking. Please, someone rewrite the section to make it more neutral. Thanks. Miguel Andrade 04:03, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
OK. Removed and simplified. It is a minor thing after all. Miguel Andrade 22:31, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
The article is plain wrong
editThe article appears to be about SIMAP@home distributed project, not about database. It do not address main questions, like who owes results, history of database, is database are available for free, or results are for sale(here for example -http://simap.europa.eu/A/2330efb7-0aab-b34c-04c0377ccce3f48d_en.html ). And the most ridiculous thing - the whole article do not contain link to SIMAP database itself!!! Furthermore, it is misleading readers. Just click: "External link: SIMAP Website". Whatever you'll get would be not a database. At the moment that links to distributed project!!! You would have to google to find SIMAP! I think this article should be deleted. And if you think I'm wrong - just read first santance of this article -"SIMAP ... it is a database of ...".
- SIMAP can refer to either the database of protein similarities itself or the distributed computing project whose aim is to precompute the database. Truthfully the article could use some work on making this distinction in my opinion. Also I do not believe the website you provided has a relation to this article, despite using the same name. Results are free, I quote from the project page: "The use of SIMAP is completely free for education and public research." As for the link to the database itself, I have now added it. --QTCaptain 01:56, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
- The EU SIMAP project is something completely different, whereas the protein database is operated by the same group as the computing project. If you think the EU program needs an own article create one and a disambiguation page. --Hurax 09:59, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
