    Driven mainly by the new discipline of genomics, the amount of information in the life sciences is growing exponentially. Biologists are faced with the challenge of organizing and integrating this torrent of biological data, held in a plethora of genomic sequence and sequence-related databases and scattered across many thousands of articles in the published literature. A number of the issues involved in achieving this task are discussed. As part of the response to this challenge, EMBO, the European Molecular Biology Organization, took the lead to create the E-BioSci network, a next generation scientific information service that will interlink genomic and other factual data with the life sciences research literature. The service will offer scientists and other researchers new forms of navigation through an increasingly intricate and often confusing information landscape. The service will be developed together with partners drawn from different research institutions across Europe and will receive financial support from the European Commission for the coming three years.

In order to create original content to transmit, the user needs to do field research widely and to analyze the best sites on-line.
