History of Omics.org
From Omics.org
The background of Omics.org site is Bio- and -Omics domain site propagation on the internet.Omics.org has a indirect root to a bioinformatics research server that has been running from around 1995.
The server was maintained by Biomatics Lab that was created in 1995. The actual omics.org was registered in 2003.
There have been several omics name producers in bioinformatics. One of them was Jong Bhak who have been coining Bio- and -omics terms in Cambridge UK, Harvard Medical school US, and KAIST, Daejeon Korea.
All the names, concepts, and theories Jong Bhak proposed are under BioLicense. In other words he does not claim that any of those are original or created by Jong Bhak.
Many omices are under BioLicense. This means that the originator or the first person is not accepted. It is the result of synthesis of words with the concepts already around. Probably many people concurrently thought of and coined independently.
If you have been coining and proposing xx-omics, please put your name below:
The actual server site was on operation intermittently and the present server was set up by a few wiki programs. The last one (in Oct. 2006) is run by Mediawiki based Biowiki package.
