<!-----IEB---->
<P>
The Information Engineering Branch (IEB) is responsible for designing and
building NCBI's production software and databases. Since these resources
constitute the bulk of what is seen on NCBI's Web pages or FTP site, the IEB
has not previously maintained a separate Web page. However, it has become
clear that there is a need for a public site, primarily for software
developers or other interested groups. In addition to providing
documentation and access to NCBI's software tools and libraries, this site
will be used to announce early versions of new resources for people to
comment on.

<tr><td valign="TOP">NCBI software tools can now automatically produce data as either ASN.1, as before,
or as XML. This provides developers access to the full internal NCBI data set
using a variety of OpenSource tools. In addition, a number of new specifications
are being developed to present simpler views of the data in XML, specifically
for use by applications developers outside NCBI. Entrez can display and download
data in XML, and a standalone tool, asn2xml, can convert ASN.1 daily update files
into XML on your site. <A HREF="ToolBox/XML/ncbixml.txt" >More..</A></td></tr>
