SIMBioMS, Systems for Information Management in BioMedical Studies, is a collaborative network that creates open source software and provides services for data management. SIMBioMS was created in 2005 when IT engineers from two academic institutions – Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science (Riga, Latvia) and European Bioiformatics Institute (Hinxton, UK)- formed a working group to provide data management services for an EU-funded large research project. Since 2007, software engineers, data managers and system administrators from Karolinska Institutet (Stockholm, Sweden), Institute for Molecular Medicine Finland (Helsinki, Finland) and Uniquer (Lausanne, Switzerland) have joined the network. SIMBioMS provided data management solutions in over 10 EU, IMI and nationally funded projects. It contributed to the development of data exchange standards and ontologies as a part of international standardisation initiatives and consortia.
