What is a Mine?

A Mine is an integrated collection of data from several sources. In an InterMine based Mine, each source contributes data, code and possibly some parts of the final data model. The resulting database can be queried using the InterMine webapp.

The structure of a Mine

Each Mine has the following struture:

new_mine/
   dbmodel/
      lib/
      resources/
      src/
   integrate
      lib/
      resources/
      src/
   postprocess/
      lib/
      resources/
      src/
   webapp/
      lib/
      resources/
      src/

Each of dbmodel, integrate, postprocess and webapp is a project in the InterMine build system.
