Deliverable of the ELIXIR Preparatory phase project (2007-2011). It presents the results of the Database Providers Survey assessing the status quo across biomolecular databases in Europe. The survey was designed to gather information about content, operational details, standards, usage, funding, team size, and sustainability. The provision of this information both qualitatively and quantitatively where possible is crucial to inform future ELIXIR planning and to help define processes associated with long term funding, e.g. the possible transitions of selected databases from non-core to core.
