Go3R - semantic Internet search engine for alternative methods to animal testing.

摘要: Consideration and incorporation of all available scientific information is an important part the planning any project. As regards research with sentient animals, EU Directive 86/609/EEC for protection laboratory animals requires scientists to consider whether planned animal experiment can be substituted by other scientifically satisfactory methods not entailing use or less suffering, before performing experiment. Thus, collection relevant indispensable in order meet this legal obligation. However, no standard procedures services exist provide convenient access required reliably determine it possible replace, reduce refine a accordance 3Rs principle. The search engine Go3R, which free charge under http://Go3R.org, runs up become such service. Go3R world-wide first on alternative building new semantic technologies that expert-knowledge based ontology identify documents. Due Go3R's concept design, used without lengthy instructions. It enables those involved planning, authorisation performance experiments availability non-animal methodologies fast, comprehensive transparent manner. Thereby, strives significantly contribute avoidance replacement
