Simbiot provides an excellent infrastructure for supporting public data repositories.  Its open architecture allows continual addition of new data formats; likewise novel analysis algorithms can be easily integrated and made available to users.  Effective security system permits easy separation of publicly available and private data. MIAME-compliant data model can maintain encrypted descriptive information as required by most publications.  Most importantly, effective integration of raw sample data and algorithms, using object-oriented methodology, allows all users to conduct meta-analysis on all data to which they have access.  With Simbiot, there is no requirement to have users download data to their system in order to conduct analysis.
