Q0: What is ACEDB?

A0:

ACEDB is an acronym for A Caenorhabditis elegans Database. It can
refer to a database and data concerning the nematode C. elegans, or to
the database software alone. This document is concerned primarily with
the latter meaning. ACEDB is being adapted by many groups to organize
molecular biology data about the genomes of diverse species.

ACEDB allows for automatic cross-referencing of items during loading
and allows for hypertextual navigation of the links using a graphical
user interface and mouse. Certain special purpose graphical displays
have been integrated into the software. These reflect the needs of
molecular biologists in constructing genetic and physical maps of
genomes.

ACEDB was written and developed by Richard Durbin (MRC LMB Cambridge,
England) and Jean Thierry-Mieg (CNRS, Montpellier, France), beginning
in 1989. It is written in the C programming language and uses the X11
windowing system to provide a platform independent graphical user
interface. The source code is publicly available. Durbin &
Thierry-Mieg continue to develop the system, with contributions from
other groups.

A description by Durbin & Thierry-Mieg: ACEDB does not use an
underlying relational database schema, but a system we wrote ourselves
in which data are stored in objects that belong in classes. This is
nevertheless a general database management system using caches,
session control, and a powerful query language. Typical objects are
clones, genes, alleles, papers, sequences, etc. Each object is stored
as a tree, following a hierarchical structure for the class (called
the "model"). Maps are derived from data stored in tree objects, but
precomputed and stored as tables for efficiency. The system of models
allows flexibility and efficiency of storage --missing data are not
stored. A major advantage is that the models can be extended and
refined without invalidating an existing database. Comments can be
added to any node of an object.

responsible for the port to make these real.
* Windows 95/NT
* Macintosh (not currently supported)

The software is also available as source code, so you may be able to
get it working on any machine.

Memory requirements (from Richard Durbin, aug 97)

The amount of memory you require for ACEDB depends very much on how
big the database is (i.e. the disk space used by the database/
subdirectory). Our rule of thumb is that one typically uses 5-10Mb
plus up to 10% of the disk space size of the database. So with a 200Mb
database perhaps 25Mb memory, and with a 500Mb database (e.g. the C.
elegans one) up to 50-60Mb. In fact for short sessions less memory is
used -- it is only when all classes are explored, or for example when
parsing big files that these amounts of memory get used.

Q4: Can ACEDB be networked?

A4:

ACEDB Client / Server Computing (from Doug Bigwood, aug97)

There are several client/server models for ACEDB computing and several
more are in development. The start of the ACEDB client/server age
began with the inclusion of aceclient and aceserver in version 4.0.
These are C - based and use the RPC protocol for communication. These
executables can be made from the standard ACEDB distributions.

Starting in version 4.5 an xaceclient is also included with ACEDB.
Xaceclient provides remote read/write access to an aceserver while
providing the user with the same X displays that are found in xace. To
use it, you create an empty database with the appropriate models and
start xaceclient. It will automatically retrieve data from the server
declared in wspec/server.wrm (the Montpellier server in the
distribution server.wrm). The data will be saved locally and can then
be viewed with a normal xace.

A perl extension which provides aceclient functionality to Perl 5.x
was developed at ACE95. The files necessary for this perl extension
are now (ACEDB 4.5 and later) included in the wrpc directory of the
ACEDB directory hierarchy. Documentation about how to extend perl is
found at http://probe.nalusda.gov:8000/ace97/perlace/perlacecl.html.

WWWAce and its successor webace were developed to provide a World Wide
Web interface for ACEDB. Webace instructions can be found at
http://probe.nal.usda.gov:8000/acedocs/webace.html, and
http://probe.nal.usda.gov:8000/ace97/webace.html and the program
itself at ftp://probe.nalusda.gov/pub/tools/webace.tar.gz.

A Java-based client called Jade allows communication via sockets to an
aceserver. Jade installation instructions and information on
downloading can be found at
http://probe.nalusda.gov:8000/ace97/Jade.installation.html.

There are now development efforts underway to provide additional
client/server functionality to ACEDB including a CORBA server and
socket-based communications. These will likely be included in future
versions of ACEDB. A new C library interface to ACEDB internals will
greatly ease the development of new clients and servers that will
support additional protocols.

Q7 : Is there a repository of software tools for ACEDB curators?

A7:

Not really, but there are several partial ones. The main tools
available are for converting data from other formats to .ace format.

The Agricultural Genome Information System has a growing stock of
useful tools at http://probe.nalusda.gov:8000/acedocs/conversion.html.
Some additional ones were contributed at the ACE97 Workshop and can be
found in the Proceedings, http://probe.nalusda.gov:8000/ace97/tools/.

Mike Cherry maintains an archive of tools at
ftp://genome-ftp.stanford.edu/pub/acedb_dev/utilities/

For a general tool for converting data to ACEDB format input files,
Joachim Baumann (joachim.baumann@informatik.uni-stuttgart.de) has
written the Perl program TextConvert, available at
ftp.informatic.uni.stuttgart.de/pub/DART/.

New! Pascal Hingamp has created a tool for mirroring remote databases
to your own machine. UPace is a flexibly configurable, well documented

Q9: How does ACEDB compare to commercial relational DBMS's?

A9:

From Jean Thierry-Mieg, 4/97:

Obviously, i have a biased opinion, but i would say that acedb is to
be recommended if the following criteria are met:

1) A very complex schema, that cannot be developed at once, but will
need continuous refinement in parallel with the accumulation of the
data

2) The type of questions that will be asked are rather complex, with
rather fuzzy answers, that one tries to refine progressively. The
acedb browsing capacities are useful in this case and have no
equivalent in a relational dbms

______________

I would rather recommend sybase in the following case

1) Simple schema, that can be designed from the start and does not
contain too many n.n relations and does not need recursivity

2) The type of questions that will be asked is: succession of
de-correlated simple questions with simple answers

____________________

Within this context, i would then list the following goodies of acedb:

1) The ace file format, which is a powerful system to prepare and
exchange data between data curators.

2) The existence of an easy graphic browsing interface

3) The availability of a biology-layer, if the application is about
genetics

4) Portability (any unix machine), mac (with some limitations),
windows (in development) and price (ace is a freeware). This implies
that you can actually redistribute the complete system, say on a CD,
something impossible with sybase.

5) Ease of use, i seriously believe that ace is much easier to
configure and use than sybase.

_____________________

Finally one should consider the following question: concurrency.

Sybase has a well designed transaction system, which will allow roll
backs and refined lockings. This is essential for an application like
a booking agency, with many users in simultaneous write access.

Ace is much simpler minded. The graphic acedb creates a global lock
allowing a single user with write access at the time, and the
modifications are not echoed to the other "read access" users in real
time.

The non graphic client server system allows parallel downloading of
data by many users, it is intended for example for collection of
robots sending their independent data in parallel. This is now well
tested.

A graphic client system is being developed and now runs in our hands,
but is not yet released.

--

Therefore, if you do need real time simultaneous write access with
partial locks, and roll backs, use sybase/oracle

________________

Last issue is speed and quantities of data. In principle,
sybase/oracle is unlimited, whereas acedb needs to keep around 5-10%
of the data in ram. But this apparent difference is misleading.

On a 32 Meg machine, you can run ace with around 300.000 objects with
a complex schema at high speed. With say 1M objects, you will need
more memory or the performance would totally degrade because of
swapping. However, this is really a lot of data.

On a similar machine, your sybase oracle will work with that amount or
more data only if you do not perform too many joins. This implies that
you are asking simple questions from a simple schema which was indeed
our first criterion to choose sybase. If you start asking complex
questions and make joins, acedb is actually much more powerful.

During tests run on a big dec alpha server by Otto Ritter in decembre
1995 on several million biological objects with a complex schema,
acedb was about 10 times faster than sybase, both to load the data and
to answer queries.

I would therefore conclude that the quantity of data is not a
criterion pushing one way or the other, it is the complexity of the
schema that matters.
