FAIRsharing record for: The Vaccine Investigation and Online Information Network

This FAIRsharing record describes: The Vaccine Investigation and Online Information Network (VIOLIN) is a web-based central resource that integrates vaccine literature data mining, vaccine research data curation and storage, and curated vaccine data analysis for vaccines and vaccine candidates developed against various pathogens of high priority in public health and biological safety. The vaccine data includes research data from vaccine studies using humans, natural and laboratory animals. VIOLIN annotates, extracts and stores vaccine-related, peer-reviewed papers from PubMed. The curated vaccine-related information contains many categories such as general pathogenesis, protective immunity, vaccine preparation and characteristics, host responses including vaccination protocol and efficacy against virulent pathogen infections. All data within the database is edited manually and is derived primarily from peer-reviewed publications. The curated data is stored in a relational database and can be queried using various VIOLIN search programs.
