Abstract
To promote international cooperation in the new field of Neuroinformatics (NI), the Neuroinformatics Japan Center at RIKEN Brain Science Institute (BSI) has been established in 2005 as the Japan-Node (J-Node) for coordination with the International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility. The Laboratory for Neuroinformatics was established in 2002 at RIKEN BSI, and created the NI base-platform “XooNIps” following the concepts and experience acquired from the Visiome Platform, which was developed under the project of the Neuroinformatics Research in Vision. XooNIps features better scalability, extensibility, and customizability to operate under various site policies supporting different databases and portals. Utilizing XooNIps, eight J-Node platforms have been developed by each platform committee which were selected from active research areas in Japan. XooNIps contributes not only in NI field but in diverse areas such as library repositories and university research resources.
